Would this not resolve the Nearmap question?  As I understand it they did not
want to write a blank cheque allowing use under an unspecified licence.  But if
the only requirement is to be compatible with CC-BY-SA and ODbL/DbCL, they might
be happy to reinstate permission to use their imagery.

Potentially, there are other data sources in a similar situation.  An official
statement from the OSMF confirming this interpretation of the CTs (or, better
still, a clarifying paragraph added to the CTs themselves) might clear up a lot
of non-acceptances.
