Hmm... It is my understanding, that if I find something I didn't know (like, say, cycletrack or POI) in Google and add it ro OSM, it would be copying. On the other hand, if I add the same data to: WikiMapia Some my project using GoogleMaps OSM then it is hard to call that copying. Even if adding to OSM requires copying coordinates from WikiMapia - it is still MY knowledge I have added to all three maps. Anyway, is these license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ free enough to use the data in OSM?
