Well there is this kind of underlying assumption that for most material 
in question, with the exception of actual maps, there is no copyright 
protection in the US and we are talking about contractual arrangements 
(I'm not going to dive in to the aspect that different jurisdictions 
have different implementations of how this all works, but see for 
example https://lwn.net/Articles/747563/). This is in any case just my 
take and the OSMF might have a completely different position for 
tactical reasons.

You are assuming that the OSMF would require UK law, which might or 
might not be the case.
