Legally I think it's a bit ambiguous, but current practice is to do
exactly that. See tools like [1] where most of the data isn't
compatible with the ODbL but they are overlaid for local mappers to
survey and add them selves [2]. At a certain point it may be easier to
"import to notes", but the current way at least has plausible
deniability if any data provider was upset that there dataset was used
to inform surveys.
