Steve,

Partially a rhetorical question... What would the project do if
someone uploaded data to OSM and then said they had not agreed to
contributing the data under CC-BY-SA?

Out of interest here is the history of project's contributing terms...

PS: Your email to LWG was received, but we have not yet had a chance
to discuss and respond. We meet again next Tuesday.
