Every mapper keeps the IP rights over the data he contributed to OSM. But we 
license our work (with the contributor terms) to the OSM project so they can 
use our work. That's why they needed everyone's agreement when they moved to 
ODbL.

If you really want you can always take your own contributed data and sell it 
for example. You own it so you can do what you want with it.
