I came across this Map Comparisons where they have used Waze map tiles. I searched around and couldn't find any official documentation for using Waze tiles in leaflet. I couldn't even find their privacy policy that concerns with usage of tiles. I'm retrieving tiles from http://livemap-tiles4.waze.com/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
in leafletjs. Waze client apps are open source; so does it mean I can use waze tiles without concerning their policy?

I think you need to get permission to use those tiles. Though some of the software implementations are open source (and GPL) the data itself is not. Since Waze has its own source for maps, these maps and the user-driven data fall into its definition of 'content.'
From the terms of service (emphasis mine):

(from rights in content section)
The Map Comparisons link you provided mentions "All map tiles copyrighted by their providers!" but I believe they are actually breaking the Waze terms of service.
