what this means is, it can't conflict with ICANN data other than that if ICANN deletes something it might not show up in ORSN. mathematically speaking that's a superset, but politically speaking it's not at all like an alternative root.
While I doubt ICANN would delete a TLD zone (and if that happened it would presumably be for "dead" tld which no requests are expected to come to), I'm concerned that their system might work in regards to to host glue records which there are quite a number of in root zone. If some nameserver is no longer used by TLD and and now it wants to change its ip address, it would presumably request deletion of its glue record from root zone and then be able to change ip with no effect on anyone on the net. But if ORSN does not pick it up this would mean they will continue to use old ip address and that would cause inconsistency (which I suspect will not be easy to track either).

What I don't understand why for their project they don't just go ahead and copy ICANN root zone as-is.
Copyright reasons. But nevertheless those 261 zones are watched to be synchronous to the ICANN root. And there is another check that sees when suddenly a new zone appears like it did for '.eu' some month ago. Both Public-Root and ORSN had it the very same day. I have seen when ORNS and ICANN were out of sync ORSN hat the information from the zone file for 'at', '.de' and '.gr' while ICANN had stale information for a very long time. Same went for '.ke' and the Public-Root for a month or two.

I don't think the root zone is sufficiently original to be legally copyrightable. And we don't have database copyright in the US. Even if it were copyrightable, it is made avaiable for download hence there is good reason to assume an implied license. On Tue, 5 Jul 2005, Peter Dambier wrote:
