Oh, I don't know, you seem to have summed it up pretty nicely there. :)

Yes, absolutely.

As Abi says, Wikipedia's current policy allows any "free" images to be  
used, and if they move to CC-BY-SA that will be explicitly permitted  
under its Collective Work clause.

So whatever happens, Wikipedia and similar projects will always be  
able to use OSM maps.
