There seems to be a misunderstanding of the definition of "Derived". In 
order for something to be considered derived it needs to contain some 
elements from which it was derived. The end product described by 
facebook contains no OSM data, therefore it is literally the opposite of 
a derived product.

As far as licensing I can't comment on that.
