For the record, the conflict of interest was not only the paid 
part. A person being paid for OSM work has no conflict of interest 
with a hobby-OSM mapper (in my mind).

The conflict of interest comes was the point of being part of both 
wikidata and OSM and "commenting" on a wikidata proposal inside 
OSM.
Having one foot in the wikidata community in this specific topic 
is without a doubt a conflict of interest.

!!Notice that simply having a conflict of interest does NOT 
imply any bad behavior!! It is NOT an accusation.

no problem.
