I would not preclude payed for work to be honest.

If a company was using OSM for the basis of their product, and their was a
certain area of the world that for some reason just wasn't being mapped,
what's to stop sponsorship for those area's?

I don't think it's inconceivable.

I'm particularly interested in the USSD functions, I've not really heard
about them before, I may wander over to the OpenMoko mailing lists, and see
if they know any thing about it :)
