The Contributor Terms are the _standard_ agreement between contributors and
OSMF.

But they do not have to be the only agreement. There is nothing to stop OSMF
itself adding data outwith the CTs; or coming to different agreements with
individual contributors; or adding "easements" to the CTs for all
contributors using particular data sources.

(Reply merely for info, I'm not a huge fan of the CTs.)
