The licence is substantially more restrictive in what it effects (original OSM data and derivatives of it) than you are portraying it. In particular it explicitly allows combination with other data without effecting the legal status of such. IF the ODbL had the effect you attribute to it, then we would really have a problem (and likely OSM usage would go through the floor). Simon
