The data provider I'm mentioning wish to publish their data on their
website, and wish to do so in a way that OSM contributors can add some
of their data in OSM and elsewhere. They want attribution and
share-alike.
What are the various options they have?

I'm a bit confused here: Does the data provider still need to create an
account and approve the contributor terms?? And they should add the data
themselves?

The following page says:
"In practice this normally means we can only use Public Domain data
sources"
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potential_Datasources
However this wiki page is full of examples of free but not PD data.
