OpenStreetMap data can be used freely under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license.
OpenStreetMap's "Rails port" core software, including the API code, is licensed under the GNU GPL. Consult documentation or source code for the licences of other software.
What this means to you (and this isn't legal advice) is basically you can do what you like with the data, so long as you mention the original creator and the licence and anyone else can do the same with anything you produce based on it.
