There are several variations and gpx tracks available on the net for the
great divide route. There are also many websites which discuss the
route and show maps. It's in the public domain.

The Great Divide route is, to my knowledge, not signposted. The source
for thr route is most likely either a GPX track from ACA or a map set
from ACA, which has their copyright on it. aca sells the GPX track
and the map.
For these reasons I think the Great Divide should no be in OSM.

I'm in favor of being flexible for cycling routes. A good
example is
the great divide mtb route in Canada & US. It is probably not
signed
very well, if at all. It was created by a non-profit & I don't
think
it is an official government route. It is used by quite a few
people,
both on bikes and motorbikes. It is in OSM and should remain so.
