The nearest map I have to hand (Philip's Navigator) says: "The
representation in this atlas of any road, drive or track is no evidence
of the existence of a right of way." IIRC OS maps say something very
similar.
I'd suggest:
"The depiction and/or storage in Openstreetmap of any road, path, track
or other way is no evidence of a right of way, nor of any previous
passage along this way."
because it might also be helpful to disclaim any supposed evidence of
trespass.
