Jukka is of course right; the use of OSM for commercial purposes is 
legally unrestricted, but if your application places a noticeable load 
on the OSM tile servers, you will sooner or later be asked to host your 
own tiles. This is not a legal restriction with OSM in general but a 
restriction concering the servers you download your tiles from.
