Once you start Marble and select "OpenStreetMap" as a theme then Marble will directly start to download OpenStreetMap tiles from the OpenStreetMap server.

AGPL

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OpenStreetMap_License

This seems very impressive, but I wonder what would be different if OpenStreetMap project was licensed under the GNU AGPL license...

Re. AGPL

Yeah, it would be nice to see this great software project with an AGPL license. It's a project where local groups could work towards extending the functionality for their own local area.

Licensing

It wouldn't really make sense to use AGPL since OSM isn't a web service, it's really just a database (only the slippymap front end is a service and that's not OSM's code). There's ongoing work to come up with a license that keeps the data as free as possible while keeping the project healthy.
