Matej, You'll probably get more thorough answers from others -- or link(s) to page(s) that explain this in detail. .. But in short:
Mixing data and license: If you are only using an OSM data derived map layer as a background map that you don't allow your users to e.g. geo-tag objects and you're only plotting data (with coordinates from something else than OSM) from your database then you are not mixing data and you can license your db in what ever way you want. On tile usage: OSM.org (and most free OSM sources) have limiting tile usage policy (for obvious reasons). Last time I read/heard MapQuest's OSM tiles are more liberal. I don't see explicit note on the topic on their page about their OSM tiles (http://developer.mapquest.com/web/products/open/map). Someone might know better -- or your can read for your self with better time to see if you can find this info. You might also want to consider commercial tiles. They are really not expensive -- and it's the right thing to do (if you exceed the usage policy limits). There are numerous providers available from companies that you can handle everything without a need to send an email or talk with anyone (such as Cloudmade and Mapbox) to various individual "OSM consultants" and companies that can meet your tile needs (thinking of Andy Allan / Thunderforest<http://www.thunderforest.com/>and Frederik Ramm / Geofabrik <http://www.geofabrik.de/> but there are many more<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Commercial_OSM_Software_and_Services> ). I've used Mapbox both for creating maps and using tiles and have been very happy with the $5/month that I've paid.
