As long as you attribute the map data to OSM (check!) and release any data
that is based on OSM data (check!), it's alright.

Please remember that any data that you *mix* with OSM data will inherit OSM's
license (CC-by-sa now, ODbL in the near future). Same goes to OSM-based data.

Any data you collect from primary sources (captured from surveys) will be
yours to license in any way, though. Displaying data layers on top of OSM
maps doesn't trigger the share-alike component of the license, as far as I
know (see the monopoly city streets case). But having that data will be
awesome :-)



Best,
