You should know that openmaps.eu Polygons are based on commercial map 
data which they bought for openmaps.eu use. I don't think that is 
possible to put that data under CCBYSA or the new odbl license, meaning 
the main "Plus" point of openmaps.eu cannot be integrated into OSM 
anyhow. Their streets and ways have not great quantity compared to OSM. 
So for openmaps.eu to drop their nice landuse polygons and move to 
openstreetmap polygons might be not really attractive.
