This has changed. Two years ago (29 Jan 2010, to be precise) I've got confirmation from EEA which reads: "The generic http://www.eea.europa.eu/legal/copyright also covers the datasets unless otherwise stated under the dataset webpage." Last time I downloaded CLC from EEA, there was no contradicting statement. OSM is still a problem until they switch over to ODbL. Thus if you're publishing Scenery with OSM roads, you're likely violating either the GPL or the current OSM license - depending on which license you choose for your package.
