If the database right holder (OSMF) provides an exported extract of the database, does the use and distribution of that extract by others still come under database rights (and the ODbL)? My thinking is the rights probably still apply, because the rights cover an arrangement of the data, not dependent on the arrangement provided (the internal database format, a direct dump from the database, or in OSM planet format). If that’s the case, I wouldn’t mind seeing a statement to the effect that the database rights either will not be enforced on the CC by-sa dumps or outline some permissions mirroring the CC by-sa copyright licence (because CC by-sa covers only copyright, so database rights remain with… someone).
