You may be able to create derivative work, but solely for teaching or
academic purposes. The most recent Carleton University Data Use
Agreement I can find
(<https://library.carleton.ca/sites/default/files/find/gis/DataUseAgreement.pdf>)
says:

  I am affiliated with Carleton University as a current
  faculty member, student or staff member and I agree to
  abide by the terms of the University’s contractual
  obligations to the owner of the data. Data obtained
  by this agreement is protected by copyright and remain
  the property of the data producer. I understand that:

  * The data provided to me is for the exclusive purposes
  of teaching or academic research while I am a member
  of the Carleton University community and may not be
  used for any other purposes without the explicit prior
  written approval of the owner of the data.

  * I am prohibited from using these data products in
  the pursuit of any commercial or income-generating
  venture either privately, with government, or under
  the auspices of Carleton University.

  * The data is released to me as a working copy for my
  use only. The distribution, sale, donation, transfer,
  sharing or exchange of any portion of these data in
  any way is expressly prohibited.

  * The data is accepted ”as is”, and that the
  owner makes no representations or warranties, either
  expressed or implied, as to the appropriateness and
  fitness for a particular purpose.

  * All publications, paper printouts, or manuscripts
  containing the data must acknowledge explicitly the
  owner of the data.

  * Licensed downloaded data files must be erased
  upon the completion of my research project, course
  assignment, or thesis work.

  * Use of the data may be subject to audit by the data
  producer; so that in the event of audits, my use of
  the data may be disclosed to the producer.

  Data covered by this agreement:

  Data listed below is stored on the Library GIS network
  and is available only to Carleton University students,
  faculty and staff upon presentation of current
  university identification.

  Licenced data include files from agencies of the
  Government of Canada, the Government of Ontario,
  the Government of Quebec, cities of Ottawa, Hamilton,
  London and Niagara, commercial providers such as DMTI,
  Teranet, and Landlnfo, and any other data providers
  which require authenticated access. A full list of
  data providers is available on the GIS website.

I would say that this unequivocally prevents the data being used as an
OSM source. Again, I ask you to refrain from using it until the licence
is clarified by the Carleton library.

Best Wishes,
 Stewart
