Just to repond to this--

"allowed non-shared products, while still requiring
_geodata_ to be 
contributed
back to OSM?"

"2. Relicence OSM as "free for non-commercial use only
for organisations 
with
under €xx,xxx of mapping-related turnover". In other
words, everyone 
gets to
use OSM data for free except the big guys (whether
they be OS, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, whoever), who
have to negotiate with us 
to fund
the project."

The large providers would probably pay for the enire
cost (within reason?) of OSM
just to get a peek at the data uploads. I would
suggest contacting them directly and discuss the idea.
The faster you get up to speed and ingest data the
quicker they can mine it for attribution.
