The non-commercial clauses are a bit of a headache, so direct import of the data into OSM is out of the way, by now. However, there are no details on derivative works. So a lawyer will be visiting them this wednesday, to sort that out. I'm quite positive about using their WMS services to build OSM on top of them.
