I believe so. In my opinion, a derived database would result if you were 
to mix other data with OSM data in a way that actually looks at the OSM 
data - for example, if you have an OSM database of streets, and then add 
to that streets from another dataset but only where OSM had nothing. 
That would be a derived database. But if you have two datasets that live 
side-by-side in the same physical database, I would say that is a 
collective database.
