As you have agreed to the Contributor Terms (remember, this was the main  
topic last time, not the actual license switch) you're safe.

3. OSMF agrees that it may only use or sub-license Your Contents as part of  
a database and only under the terms of one or more of the following  
licences: ODbL 1.0 for the database and DbCL 1.0 for the individual  
contents of the database; CC-BY-SA 2.0; or such other free and open licence  
(for example, http://www.opendefinition.org/okd/) as may from time to time  
be chosen by a vote of the OSMF membership and approved by at least a 2/3  
majority vote of active contributors.
