There is java program that can access google tiles in JOSM (java app for OSM editing). While JOSM was developed primarily for OSM editing, you can use it outside OSM. I also use JOSM in some mapping projects because the editing functions are better than most GIS apps I use.
However, any edits derived from big G's tiles shouldn't be uploaded in the OSM database.
