I would consider the proposed resulting work to be 'two or more

If it's a whole then by definition it's not a collection (a "mere
aggregation").
Articles in a book are a collection, a collage is an adaptation (a
derivative).
Layers combined destructively (such as in print) are modified, and so
are an adaptation.
For me, this would be the case if you produce a book with copyrighted
data on one page and CC-BY-SA data on the next, but not if you print
everything into one so that it cannot be separated and the CC-BY-SA
Yes that would be my understanding (IANAL).
content cannot be accessed separately. I was under the impression that
OSM data cannot be used as a base medium to distribute proprietary data.
Peter invited me to continue the discussion here rather than on talk-gb,
so here we are. Does anyone have an opinion on the matter?
I'd say that if it's a single image, it's a single, adaptive, work.
Making a single combined work from two other works *must* produce an
adaptation. It's quantifiably different from placing them side by side
on separate pages in a book or separate files on a memory stick.
We've discussed how to firewall layer data from BY-SA in print in the
past: using data keys for example. But the assumption has always been
that the single combined map image is a single BY-SA work iirc.
