Of course, but that’s not what the previous poster was talking about. They were talking about commercial use of the data.
Someone also answered the hosting question on the golem forum, they do host it themselves: https://forum.golem.de/kommentare/opensource/paketverfolgung-und-mehr-post-und-dhl-wechseln-von-google-maps-zu-openstreetmap/immerhin-laedt-die-post-die-daten-von-den-eigenen-servern/170687,6788315,6788315,read.html
Unless they weren't and it was a genuine confusion of OpenStreetMap with something like MapBox which is a paid service to embed OSM-based maps. I merely clarified because not everyone can be expected to know everything.
