Maybe that's a loophole in the license. But if so, it's a pretty big one.
What is meant by "content is unmodified"? Obviously the printed base
map is going to be modified from the original database. So under your
interpretation, the part about the content being unmodified either
prohibits everything, or allows everything. Or is there some other
interpretation for "content is unmodified" that you can think of?
