Hi,

a derivative database that is only used to create a Produced Work is

4.5 Limits of Share Alike. The requirements of Section 4.4 (Share-alike,
remark Oliver) do not apply in the following:
a. [..]
b. Using this Database, a Derivative Database, or this Database as
part of a Collective Database to create a Produced Work does not create a
Derivative Database for purposes of Section 4.4; and
No, I believe you misread that (but would appreciate a third set of
eyeballs on this). The sentence you quoted means:
"The act of using a derivative database (or this database, or this
database as part of a collective database) for the creation of a
produced work does not in itself create a derivative database".
I.e. simply using some database to create a produced work does not
somehow magically create a derivative database which you would have to
share. For example if you use the planet file to create a produced work,
you are not automatically creating a derivative database.
However if you explicitly make a derivative database for the purpose of
creating a produced work - and this is what would happen in my scenario
- the full force of 4.4c,
"A Derivative Database is Publicly Used and so must comply with Section
4.4. if a Produced Work created from the Derivative Database is Publicly
Used."
and then 4.4a,
"Any Derivative Database that You Publicly Use must be only under the
terms of: i. This License; ii. A later version of this License similar
in spirit to this License; or iii. A compatible license."
There is no doubt in my mind that the derived database on which the
routing is based *must* be shared.
Your interpretation of 4.5b would effectively render 4.4c completely
useless.
Bye
