Hello,
generally the answer to question "is it produced work or derivative
database?" is "doesn't really matter, even if it were produced work, you
are obliged to published the underlaying derivative database"
however, on several pages under the use cases wiki page, eg
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Use_Cases#Using_OSM_data_for_the_production_of_a_hand-made_map
still set a hard line between produced work and derivative database.
Because, simply speaking, the difference is huge, just like between
Public Domain (for PW, as long as you contribute OSM) and ODbL (for
the derivative database, if there is any).
Bear in mind there's a possibility that there's no "underlaying
derivative database", but PW is made directly from OSM data.
during the process, there is always a derivative DB, be in only in RAM
or any other form. it does not matter if the process is done in one or
thow shell scripts.
While I can see your point, that's not a useful definition of a
derivative DB, since you can't be expected to share a database that you
haven't stored yourself.
The use cases draw a sharp line between produced work and derivative db
because the OdBL itself does. The intention of the OdBL is not to
trigger share-alike on produced works, precisely to allow use of OSM's
data with other independent (perhaps commercial) data sets without
forcing the other data to be made public.
