I can certainly construct a primitive "machine learning" machine that
can be "trained" with OSM data and that will nicely respond with that
very OSM data very time I set it to work on the same geographical area ;)

I have a hunch that in order to disprove that your machine learning
installation and all it produces is a derived work, you would at least
have to lay open the algorithms and the training data used.

If someone has a proprietary machine and trains it with OSM data, then
my default assumption would be that everything the machine ever outputs
is derived from OSM, because how will I know that the machine doesn't
simply store everything it sees during learning?

Bye
Frederik
