We are using their photomaps to derive new information, so the
following statement from this page is what holds

If you derive information from observing our PhotoMaps, and include
that information in a work, you will own that work, and may distribute
it to others under a Creative Commons licence.

So we don't have to attribute anything, all we have to do is release
the data under a CC license, which it is.

And if you read futher down, the explicitly mention tracing for openstreetmap

For example, you may Use the Licensed PhotoMaps or Modified PhotoMaps
to obtain information which you can then use to populate or update
openstreetmaps.

So for me source=nearmap is all that is needed.
