John,

    you should really discuss license topics on legal-talk and not here.

To give the briefest of responses:

Merging a future ODbL-licensed OSM with a (then) old CC-BY-SA licensed 
OSM dataset and publishing tiles made from that database would force you 
to release the whole database under ODbL which would violate the terms 
of CC-BY-SA.

There are ways in which data could legally be combined but that's really 
going too much into detail for talk.

Bye
Frederik
