What I think most people think waze's stance is is the following statement found in the wiki:
"Those terms of use also apply to you. You cannot use Google's aerial images to edit Waze's maps. In some jurisdictions you may be able to use them as a reference (like looking at a map in a mapbook), but not as an overlay as with the Greasemonkey script Googze."
This is entirely consistent with my interpretation. If waze has a stance that "copyrighted materials such as Google should not be used" then they need to make it clearer.
Again, there are significant licensing and copyright issues here, if you are not positive what you are doing complies with the relevant law and terms of service, don't do it.
