Hey, As far as licenses go, these datasets are public domain so no other action is needed.
As for all the other things, we gave this project a try in 2016 and imported a large chunk of Large Buildings with address points back then. It was meant to be a community project where we aimed to engage local mappers in OSM activities, too. This other objective was not fully achieved, though. Anyway, here are a few resources that you might find useful.
