I guess there might be a confusion between copyright and authorship. If you’re Italian, you might be more familiar with diritto d’autore, which is not exactly the same as copyright.
Copyright is the right to make copies (reproduce, perform, etc)

The right you granted to OpenStreetMap-Foundation are all the economic rights.

Besides, there are moral rights, namely 
the right to claim authorship of a work and
the right to object to any distortion or modification of a work, or other derogatory action in relation to a work, which would be prejudicial to the author's honour or reputation


You have agreed with OpenStreetMap-Foundation that you are not going to assert your moral rights for the content that you provided.
(This is aiming at the right to object to modifications)


Cheers Martin
