>From my understanding of the OSM contributor terms, the OSMF does not have
the faculty to grant exceptions from the license, which the majority of
active contributors have chosen (currently ODbL), i.e. such an agreement
would require to make a voting amongst all active contributors on the OSM
side. No idea about wikidata terms, likely they would not need to change
anything, wikidata is already very permissive.
