Our standard reply is that you cannot expect to apply old-world business models to our new world order. There is a lot of room for "really creative things"; taking our map and printing an A-Z is not exactly a prime example of creativity. The suggested ODbL license changes situation by allowing you to make a "produced work" and license that under a non-share-alike license as long as the produced work is not a database.
