There's code in JOSM that you can re-use for that (the slippy map chooser or the slippy map plugin). > As far as I have understood from the "Common License Interpretations" > wiki page, this is would be a "collective work" since the OSM layer is > kept separate and independent from our own data (and our own data has > not beeen created by looking on the OSM map). Is this correct? That would be my interpretation too. > When I > attribute/credit the OSM maps correctly inside my map viewer (text & > hyperlinks) would this be a legal use of the OSM map data? I would say so. > If so - would it also be legally ok if I would create a "print map" > functionality inside my map viewer (also with correct attribution)? Yes, but the printed map is not a collective work any more; at least under CC-BY-SA the printed map would have to be licensed CC-BY-SA, *including* the depicted vehicle routes/positions. OSM has no problem with that, and your delivery company probably hasn't either (remember, CC-BY-SA does not mean you have to put it up on a web site or something, just that anyone who legally gets hold of such a printout may do whatever he or she likes with it). So for example if you should decide to produce and publish a yearly report on your business and you include a OSM map with the routes of all your delivery vehicles then others would be allowed to trace off and publish these routes.
