Wheelmap.org - A map of wheelchair accessible places

Those 1.3 million places from ~130 other sources, the website says that they are "often" with an open license. Would that be compatible with OpenStreetMap? Because then we could make OSM be a more complete map of the planet. Are you aware of any project that can show which places (from those other open sources) are not yet tagged on OSM?

Edit: to clarify, I'm not proposing an import (which is usually a hassle), but just a comparison to explore how many places are in open data but currently not in OSM.

Some sources are open-licensed (which we provide right away when you use our API), and some only agreed to share with Wheelmap (for example Foursquare, HERE Maps, and others). We would love to see the license-compatible places in OSM as well but agree that a mass import is not the right way.
