I think that on the one hand, we want certain details in OSM directly. As far as licenses go, I understood that CC-BY is easier to comply with than CC-BY-SA. But when going into the details of licensing things quickly get blurry for me as well. All I know, is that since you're building a database, it might make sense to use ODBL.
I guess you are aware of the Overpass API to get live data from OSM to compare with.
