... not so fast! We generally say that: * if you produce an image that contains OSM and other data, then deliver this image to the client computer, then the whole image is CC-BY-SA. but * if you produce two different images, one with OSM and one with other data, and the two are overlaid on the client computer (by software acting on behalf of the user), then your second image can be licensed whatever you want. Only if the user (who is considered to have created a derived product by asking software running on his computer to take two images and merge them) then further publishes the image - which you may or may not allow as the image contains your data! - would the image have to be made CC-BY-SA. Otherwise it would not be possible to e.g. overlay OSM data and CGIAR "noncommercial use only" hill shading in an OpenLayers application.
