IMHO only: I would suggest asking for explicit permission (to
trace and to distribute the results on ODbL terms). It is not
clear at all if their licence would allow it and reading the blurb

display of the images.<br clear="none">

You should ask the LWG for their opinion in any case.<br clear="none">
