What I am saying is that Creative Commons guidance appears to suggest that, in the case of music, you can license a recording under CC-by-SA without licensing the composition under CC-by-SA (and indeed it is well established in copyright law that composition and recording licensing are separate) . In other words, you have not licensed all of the intellectual property present in the recording under CC-by-SA, so people cannot distribute, say, the lyrics under CC-by-SA on the grounds that they derived them from a CC-by-SA recording. If my interpretation is right, why can you not licence an OSM rendering under CC-by-SA without licensing the underlying database under CC-by-SA? I am not saying I am 100% certain about this (as there is not the well established distinction that exists for music), but I would be interested to hear reasons why this does not work if the music example does.
