So... you are suggesting that you believe that no one will ever be able to overlay an osm map, or indeed an ccbya image with any image that not available on an open license even if the context of the two images is completely different? For the avoidance of doubt the base map is a direct clone of standard osm map rendering so is already available for reuse. It is only the combined image that is not. If that is your view then we are going to have to disagree on this point! Please refer to the specific examples I have posed above to help direct the discussion. These include a map of the USA overlaid with crime statistics, a directions map overlaid with a photograph and a map of the Isle of White overlaid with some illustrations.
