IMHO the issue here is that we often, mistakenly, tend to treat "using"
OSM the same as "creating a derivative of OSM data".

As a thought experiment consider planning a trip around your fav place
boundary with OSM,  going for the walk with an OSM based map in your
hand so that you stay on course, and then writing a a blog post about
your experience. For the purpose of the argument forget about
substantial vs. non-substantial and Produced Works vs. Derivative Databases.

Is the blog post a derivative of OSM?
