Here it is in the wiki:

If what you create is based on OSM data (for example if you create a
new layer by looking at the OSM data and refering to locations on it)
then it is likely you have created a derivative work.

If you generate a merged work with OSM data and other data (such as a
printed map or pdf map) where the non-OSM data can no longer be
considered to be separate and independent from the OSM data, is is
likely you have created a derivative work.

If you overlay OSM data with your own data created from other sources
(for example you going out there with a GPS receiver) and the layers
are kept separate and independent, and the OSM layer is unchanged,
then you may have created a collective work.

If you have created a derivative work, the work as a whole must be
subject to the OSM licence. If you have created a collective work,
then only the OSM component of the work must be subject to the OSM
licence.
