3 years ago I don’t think Tomtom products can be used for OSM. It is just another kind of google maps.
However, an explicit waiver/statement should be obtained from Tomtom if you really think it is possible. Apple Maps uses OSM as well, but it does not mean you can use it in a reverse way.

Overlay. QA for routing.

There are multiple tilesets comprising combinations of dates (usually per-month, with (delta|diff)s) & types (average, median, median_count). See MapMetrics Web-UI.
Example: http://mapmetrics-world.innovation.tomtom-global.com/tiles/median_count/OSM202109/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png (source)
Values for {zoom} seem to be: 8, 10, 16. However, I've not exhaustively tested & verified those numbers.

License
Unclear. However, having read the FAQ, this source isn't for tracing, but simply finding areas with problematic routing. See the background info links up top.
Besides, they make the dataset available both as a compressed archive and via an API. So, seems that the intent is permissive usage. The likely goal seems to be to (enable the community to) improve OSM data.
Although I'm a non-lawyer, it might be possible to argue that the data is a derivative of OSM's, since it's the result of comparing OSM's road network data (used to produce routing paths) & the GNSS traces of actual drivers (which I think would be public domain(?) in terms of copyright, separately from privacy concerns).
Is the license compatible with OSM?
Being a QA overlay, I would think so.

I couldn't find any mention, on the site, of a required attribution string.
