Sorry for replying late but I had to leave for the night shift yesterday.

Let's leave the theory and do the little experiment you suggested :-).

I guess, you consider the way 115031489[1] as copyright protected, right?

Then what about the attached alternative versions? For each version I 
started JOSM, opened a new layer, added the node (-31.069902030361792, 
152.7777728383561) which is close to the beginning of the road, loaded 
the Bing background and traced the road. Between each session there were 
at least 5 minutes.
If I would replace the original way with one version, would that be a 
copyright infringement?

Bye, Andreas
