We should probably wait for the official legal answer.. However I don't 
agree with Peter's statement in this case:
according to
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ#I_used_part_of_a_Creative_Commons-licensed_work.2C_which_Creative_Commons_license_can_I_relicense_my_work_under.3F

It's not possible to combine  cc-by-sa  and cc-by-sa-nc

The reason for this is what license would the resulting work be?
cc-by-sa says that anyone can use the work. However nc means that the 
final work must be nc so the 2 can't be combined, unless the nc party 
give permission for the final work to be by-sa or the by-sa party gives 
permission for the final work to be nc (and we know how hard that would 
be for the openstreetmap side...)

Try and convince the nc side to allow the nc to be dropped for the final 
work....

Cheers
Chris
