I'm new and sorry if this has been asked before, I'll try and keep it short.
Intro: I am developing a web application for cyclists. I was developing it for use in Google Maps until I found out about OSM and am cursing at myself for not knowing about it sooner! Anyway, the web application includes finding cycle routes, reviews, and sharing GPX tracks. I would like to contribute to OSM by importing data that riders have uploaded onto my site. I've read the import guidelines and plan to take great care in adding/editing data. I plan on seeking advice on how to do this and of course won't do any importing until I've gotten the go ahead. The types of imports will be for amenities like toilets and drinking_water as well as bicycle information for cycleways and road surface. My question is can my database reference Ways, Nodes, etc which will also have additional information that isn't needed/wanted in OSM without using the ODbl license? Here is case 7 of the license/Use_cases page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/License/Use_Cases#Case_7:_I_want_to_contribute_my_data_to_OSM.2C_then_use_that If that is still considered a derivative work then does OSM offer exemptions to the ODbl for mutual relationships? If that is not possible then would only including portions of my database in the ODbl be OK seeing how it will contain information about users which, to me, would be unacceptable to give away. Thank you all for your time and thought on this subject.
