It might make sense to do this on a per-changeset rather than per-user 
basis. I, for example, have started to ODbL-clean my area, but that 
doesn't mean everything I do is of no value to a CC-BY-SA fork. Maybe if 
everyone who does ODbL cleanup uses a special keyword or tag in their 
changeset descriptions, then FOSM could copy over only the stuff not so 
tagged.

Personally I'm not involved with FOSM and I don't plan to be, but I see 
absolutely no reason to harm their project out of spite, and if all it 
takes to help them make better use of my edits is placing or not placing 
a specific changeset tag, I would gladly do that.

Bye
Frederik
