:-( I just looked at the license you referenced and it is very, very restrictive. So no.
Both the old and new OSM licenses allow commercial usage, (otherwise it would not be an open license). Some publishers if specifically and courteously asked *may* make an exception as OpenStreetMap itself is not a commercial venture. However ... Amongst other thins, the license is also "limited and revocable" so they could ask you at any time to stop using it without reason. The killer though is the first bullet in the read more link, no use in public databases; effectively an anti-OSM clause.
