The term "single creative work" is not used in the CC license text.

Displaying OSM content and other content side-by-side does not form a 
"work derived from OpenStreetMap" according to community consensus. You 
need to do more than just display them side by side if you wanted to 
trigger the share-alike clause. (Compare: Just because a music CD 
contains one track licensed CC-BY-SA, this doesn't mean the whole CD has 
to be, even if the CC-BY-SA licensed track has been selected to match 
the theme. The whole has not been "built upon" the part.)

Bye
Frederik
