There is no such thing as an "enforced tag" in OSM. If you choose not to use a tag then that is your choice. Not using a source tag when basing your mapping on an external source is a poor choice. And not just for copyright reasons. It also lets other mappers know how much to trust the data. When I come across data that seems like it might be a little off to me I treat things that have a source=survey tag much differently than things that have a source=<random import> tag.
