I just had a quick look at the licence terms. While the license is based
on CC by 4.0 (which is own can of worms) it unluckily contains a
provision prohibiting specific use that makes the data clearly (as in we
will never, in no circumstances be able to adhere to the terms) unusable
for OSM and further means it does not meet the definition here
http://opendefinition.org/od/1.0/en/.
Sorry
