Am I allowed to declare my png mapnik tile as a "derived database", stick an
ODbL label on it an be done with it?

Then I don't have to reverse engineer my render to figure out if or if not
it produces an internal database and worry about having to maintaining a
snapshot of that database for ever and what legal consequences there might
be if my dog eats the backup, etc. I'd be back to the simplicity of
CC-BY-SA, i.e. that all obligations of the licenses are met within the work
I hand out itself and have no additional work (or worries) beyond producing
the product in the first place.
