In general the CC-by licences require downstream attribution that we
can't provide for any sensible meaning of the word, so you will need
specific permission in any case, the other part is that the 4.0 licences
try to cater for sui generis databases and, IMHO-only, that comes out
rather wrong.

What complicates your specific case even more is that you will find a
wide range of opinions on if tracing from imagery even creates a
derivative work (which you need to square with national regulations and
case law).

The best action is to sidestep the above mentioned can of worms and try
and get explicit permission, preferably with
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/GettingPermission#Letter_Template3
(the first two letter templates are missing some key points IMHO and
while simpler are probably not really enough).

Note the letter would need some adaptation in your case since we are
referring to data derived from the imagery, not the imagery itself.
