I just wanted to clarify this before anyone were to make any bold moves.  I am currently seeking clarification from ESRI&  ESRI (UK) - i will inform you of what i find.

If there are limits on what OSM Tiles can be used by external services, 
there should be some clear indication of what that trigger point is. 
e.g. no more than 5,000 tiles / day from a single application?
