I still see no problem.

There is essentially no difference post-relicensing between data derived from an
unrelicensable source and mapping that is not relicensed because people cannot
be contacted. Planet dumps from the CC-by-SA era are a non-issue because they
remain wholly under the Creative Commons licence; post-relicensing history dumps
omit both sets ofdata.
