It's a weird way to me to create a map like that but they are indeed 
only using the tiles, but they aren't caching them, quick look in 
firebug: tiles come directly from:

http://c.tile.openstreetmap.org/16/33595/21946.png

And so on.  Of course it is great they tend to prefer OSM originated 
maps.  Afaik, the requirement to use tiles directly from the 
openstreetmap servers means you either don't put a big burden on it, and 
if you know you will , they ask you to contact their administrators to 
talk about it.
