Of course you can, but at your own risk - although I'm with you that 
it's very small. But as long as there is no court rule nobody knows for 
sure :-).

Bing explicitly says it's ok for contributing to OSM. It doesn't mention 
any other site. In my opinion a fork has to ask for approval as did OSM 
if it wants certitude.
