Well one assumption I'm making is that everyone is adhering to the
license restrictions placed on them, perhaps this would be easiler
with a solid example.

OSM-F continues to distribute map tiles under a CC-by-SA license and
for the purpose of this example doesn't have a terms and condition
using their website.

Someone from the US comes along and derives some data from the tiles
OSM-F produces.

That same someone then distributes the resulting data under a CC-by-SA license.

At any point is anyone in breach of copyright?
