In what format do you have your data?

Legally, you retain all rights to your own data; when you add it to OSM, 
you are just licensing it to everyone else non-exclusively. However, if 
you make your paper maps using data from OpenStreetMap which has been 
added to by other members of the community, you would need to follow the 
terms of the CC-BY-SA licence (or any future licence; there may be a 
change is in the works) under which the OSM data is licensed. In 
practice, that means putting an small attribution credit on the map.
