I'd say it is a grey zone. Not sure if OSMF has published how they see it
(probably yes, at least when the license change was discussed in 2012), but
there was never a court ruling to verify any interpretation.
Interpretations vary from cc-by-sa 2.0 unported not applicable to data (aka
representation of facts), to every mapper whose data is built upon must be
credited.

Cheers,
Martin
