That's why I've written "using information" on purpose :-).

For me copying would be using the same map style (colours, symbols,...). 
Some jurisdictions don't allow this, mine expects a certain individual 
creativity.

Getting information out of an imagery or a map and entering it into OSM 
is not copying (in the sense of producing an object identical to a given 
object).
