While I think the case of the traffic data is interesting, it really
very much depends on implementation details if and when a derivative DB
might be created.

For example if weights were calculated from the data and associated
directly with OSM ways then likely you would have a derivative DB, but
the question would still remain if the weights are actually useful
information. But if you used the coordinates of the  OSM way to do a
search in the traffic database and use that on the fly, you likely would
not have an issue. Definitely there are dozens of ways to skin this
particular cat.

And I would note again as I've pointed out before, my interpretation of
the ODbL is that only the data in derivative database is what is subject
to the ODbL not the original data source.

We have raised the question of Dynamic Data in a dedicated guideline
given that a number of things are not so clear and even while, using the
example from the guideline, the occupancy of a parking lot is an
observable fact it is questionable if we would want to require that
anybody that creates such or similar application has to provide a real
time feed of the data on ODbL terms.
