There is no "fair use" clause in UK copyright law, which is important not
just because OSM is hosted in England & Wales but also because this is
presumably a dataset in part containing materials with an E&W copyright
holder.

The comparable clause is "fair dealing" and has significantly less scope
than the US "fair use". There may be other aspects of copyright law you
could look at but I wouldn't rely on this one.
