Yes it is, but is it defendable? I mean could then anyone prove in court that it is a "work resulting from" and not the Database itself? It would take a few more steps (eg. arrange some inbetween maps to lose the trace) to do it on purpose, I think. For me this is more a question of using 'normal' tiles to make just another map, and I don't see there's a way to prohibit it in ODbL. Sincerely,
