I hope OpenStreetMap heard the news. I'm assuming they can mass-import this stuff.

I would absolutely love to import this into OSM, but the data is locked behind their API (which has access restrictions).

Correct, for now. We're currently evaluating a dump method as well, but haven't been able to put much time on it as we've been busy working on our API :)
