Yep, I think now is a good time. Our aim is to give OpenStreetMap permission to use the Já 360 images for reference. Nothing official yet, but when we have it we'll post it here.

While we won't be able to release the historical traces we would like to provide data in the future. Next time we drive the car around Iceland we aim to donate some interesting data to OSM. Again, I'll post to the list when it's available.
