[OSM-legal-talk] Fair use?

Hello you all.

This is my first message here, please let me know if I am making any
mistake regarding the use of this mailing list.

After some reading of the license-related pages in the OSM wiki, I still
cannot figure out whether my intended use is under the terms of use: I
intend to create a site where several pools would be carried out, and
the results would be plotted in a way similar to the heatmap example
over the OSM background.

Some of those pools would be visible only for paying customers and the
generated reports would feature OSM static images with the pool data
plotted over.

I read the "How to credit OpenStreetMap" section and am completely fine
with complying to that, since my main interest (and source of income)
would be the pool data, the map would be only a viewing and reporting
aid.

Could you please give me some advice on whether any of this is against
the OSM license?

Thanks a lot,
Renato
