OSM's CC-BY-SA license allows commercial use. Care to elaborate?

CC-BY-SA doesn't prevent Google or anyone from using OSM commercially. But it requires you to make derived data available, which is surely in direct conflict with Google's favoured "data comes in, but it's never allowed out again" type of license.
