Can we use OSM in our non-commercial app?

Hello, We developed the desktop app, which shows all our technical tests on OSM visual component? Written in C#. For internal use only. OSM logo is shown on the embedded map. Thanks for the answer.

OpenStreetMap data comes under ODbL 1.0 license. Links to, and details about, this can be found in our Legal FAQ.

The likely short answer to your question is: All of the ODbL's provisions are only triggered if you "publicly use" our data or something derived from it; so even though your use case would not be restricted by the ODbL's provisions, they don't even apply for "internal use only".
