There has already been an appeal over the Sensis decision and the
original ruling against Telstra was upheld, there may be further
appeals but from what I understand the issue is pretty much settled.

Please list sources for this comment, because as far as I understand
it there is no further appeals on the matter currently pending.
In any case I noticed you completely skipped the next part of my
comment, OSM-F is heading directly into very tainted data due to the
debarcle that is the current license change, so unless and until OSM-F
decides to do things properly any minor amount of data is the least of
their problems.
