ccbysa doesn’t know data or imagery, it is about works, where 

"Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under the terms of this License.


Use in OSM would maybe create a derivative work and be subject to share alike, or maybe extracting “facts” (which are not copyrightable) doesn’t fall under the license anyway.

In the second case, we could maybe use any imagery regardless of licensing, as long as the owner doesn’t forbid it.


cheers,
