I'd start here:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines

(apologies if you've already read that, but I suspect that more than a 
few readers of this list may not have done)

There are lots of things to think about in there, and that page is not 
all about "reasons not to import" - lots of OSM communities worldwide 
have decided to import data that it wouldn't be practical to obtain any 
other way, but it's important that it's a community decision and not 
just the decision of one person.

Cheers,
Andy
