It's a non-exclusive license though, so you can upload your data to
OSM and still upload it to other projects with different licenses.
Also someone mentioned it doesn't matter which path the data travelled
to the user (i.e. which project it was retrieved from), so by my logic
CC-By-SA doesn't apply.

Cheers
