In fact, you can show OSM tiles in Google JS, for example on this site:
http://oxford.openguides.org/wiki/?St._Aldate%27s_Church

There's even a bookmarklet (OSMify) you can run to add Mapnik, OSMA and
Cycle layers to most 3rd party Google maps sites:

I've just tested it on the Software Freedom Day site, and it works well.
The only site it doesn't work on is Google's own main maps site.
