In follow up emails to LPI they responded in red to these questions:

Sorry guys, I was overthinking that last answer too much. Originally I
thought it meant we can't import so much data that OSM looks like the LPI
base map, but re-reading I believe it just tries to close a loophole where
a user could push LPI data through OSM to clean it of their attribution
responsibilities to LPI. So on second thought, it's probably okay to bring
in more LPI data, that said we should still be cautious without the
official OSMF waiver.

the prep work.

It's not. It's not even available as a vector format under an open license,
so for now it's only the raster basemap we can work off.
