Which license for data derived from a map based on OpenStreetMap?

0

An Italian public administration wants to generate data (as opendata) starting from a service tiles generated from OSM data. These tiles are released under CC-BY-NC. This public administration wants publish this new dataset by using the CC0 license.

It's possible, or the data must be released as ODbL?

The short answer is that they will have to use ODbl as CC-BY-NC requires permission from the copyright owner. Since OSM data is "owned" by its contributors, who number in their thousands, that would be impossible. For more information see this page.
