Two questions here:

1) is Toporama WMS included? I assume it is part of GeoBase but just 
want to be sure
2) did they give permission for the contributors to give the rights to 
OSMF to re-license the data, as mentioned in the contributor terms?

In any case it would be good to have an official page (i.e. not on the 
wiki where anyone can modified it) of which entities OSMF negotiated 
with for people who imported work to review and decide if they can 
accept the contributor terms.

   Thanks,
