we have been discussing this same paragraph on the italian mailing list some months ago, and the interpretation was that it refers to “services”, not “data”

quote:
. In particular these are:

the openstreetmap.org website and associated services and APIs,
the OpenStreetMap data distribution,
the OpenStreetMap wiki and help websites,
the OpenStreetMap mailing lists and forums.
(together, the “Services”).



end quote 



and above the paragraph you quoted it says: “You may not use the Services to:”

note it says “data distribution”, not data.
