how to license some small maps for my public-domain book?

Hello! I'm preparing some small maps for my public-domain book. Those maps are PNGs rendered from heavily edited (with Inkscape) OpenStreetMap data. Can I put my PNGs into public domain or I need to license them with CC-BY-SA?

Note this answer was given before the change to the ODbL, while this didn't change the licence of the standard style tiles it does open other licence possibilities for self-rendered tiles.
