Can I use OSM maps commercially?

Question

For the 4th time of attempting to post.... I'd like to make and sell framed maps of the birthplace of people. I can do this by printing out small sections of their birth areas in OSM and printing it off and framing it. Is this allowed by OSM?

The Legal FAQ is also helpful.
