You can download the data (download full planet file and extract with
Osmosis, or download suitable extract - see Planet.osm on Wiki). Then
you can edit it with an OSM offline editor e.g. JOSM, and make maps from
it with a renderer e.g. Maperitive or Mapnik.

Mapnik can generate SVG and PDF, but not with different layers.
Maperitive can generate Illustrator files.

You already have the right, through our CC-BY-SA license. But the
printed map you produce will have to be licensed CC-BY-SA as well (i.e.
everyone who buys it from you can use it as they please, e.g. make copies).
See also my answer to your very similar question on legal-talk.

Nobody will give you express permission.

It would be sufficient if you settled on *one* address to send your
question to.
