Anthony,
they might not be incompatible as far as you are concerned.

But they are incompatible as far as the OSM community is concerned.  That is 
a fact. OSM has repeatedly said it does not want contents that are derived 
from Google tracing.  It's very clear.  OSM is not asking you whether you 
think you are allowed to trace from Google.  It is telling you that as a 
community we don't want you to trace from Google.
