This is in direct conflict with the          ODBL terms which contain no such restriction, and also include          a limitation of liability clause. Surely other emergency          services organisations are using OSM data without issue.

It was (and maybe still is) in production use for emergency services in Poland.

Partially replacing official data, partially supplementing it.

Legal situation got better in Poland but at some point official mapping agency was
legally required to charge prohibitive fees, also from emergency services.

And - as far as I know - there is no government register of fire hydrants or AED in Poland.
