I agree with Peter here, there is something that can make you think twice
about importing ODbL licensed data: the CTs. You not only have to comply to
ODbL, but also to the CTs.
http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/Contributor_Terms/FR

3. OSMF agrees that it may only use or sub-license Your Contents as part of
a database and only under the terms of one or more of the following
licences: ODbL 1.0 for the database and DbCL 1.0 for the individual
contents of the database; CC-BY-SA 2.0; or such other free and open licence
(for example, http://www.opendefinition.org/okd/) as may from time to time
be chosen by a vote of the OSMF membership and approved by at least a 2/3
majority vote of active contributors.

or if you live in France it's this text:
3. OSMF consent à n’utiliser ou sous-licencier votre Contenu que comme
partie de la base de données et seulement par le biais d’une ou des
licences suivantes : ODbL 1.0 pour la base de données et DbCL 1.0 pour les
contenus individuels de la base de données ; CC-BY-SA 2.0 ; ou toute autre
licence libre et ouverte de même type (comme, par exemple,
http://www.opendefinition.org/okd/) qui pourra être ponctuellement choisie
par une majorité de 2/3 des contributeurs actifs parmi les membres d’OSMF.


So basically you can only import data that is compatible with ODbL and/or
cc-by-sa 2.0 and which can later be relicensed. According to the CTs it
would seem as if you could also contribute cc-by-sa 2.0-only data, which is
in my understanding not possible as long as osmf publishes the data as ODbL.

cheers,
Martin
