It would be nice to know what are rules concerning reusing or contributing to the project.

By project I meant "osm24" not OpenStreetMap. The fact that the code is available on github does not mean too much. Can I reuse parts of it in my project? Can I deploy it on my own? Usually answer to such questions gives chosen license. Here you can find list of licenses used for open source project:

I thought you're talking about OpenStreetMap. The project is an open license. I didn't have time to choose. Maybe AGPL will be the best :-)
If you want to fork project then it is not a problem. But it will be nice if you add link to osm24.eu
If you want contribute it will be also nice, it is a lot of work here.

AGPL looks good, i support it :)
Also AGPL means that link to this repository should be added to the About screen)

To me it looks like GPLv2 license is already selected. Looking at the https://github.com/dotevo/osm24/blob/master/js/own_bootstrap.js file it says:

Author: Adam Jordanek (dotevo)
License: GPLv2

Doesn't it mean that the whole code is GPLv2?

No it is old. It will be AGPL but I have to check libs license. If anyone wants to do it I'll be happy :-)

I am not sure if announcing that the licensing information is "old" makes it legal to switch to something else. But I am not an expert...

For owners it is not a problem to change license

+1 for adding a license. Personally, I prefer the MIT license

Some source files still contain information about GPLv2. So I wouldn't consider this issue fixed.
