The geocoding guideline is explicit about this: " If a Geocoder uses the OSM database to produce Geocoding Results and the Geocoder is Publicly Used, then the OSM database is being Publicly Used under the ODbL. * Individual* Geocoding Results are insubstantial database extracts: *Individual* Geocoding Results that are based on a Direct Hit contain an insubstantial amount of raw OSM data; ... Consequently, if: 1. no modifications (or only trivial transformations) have been made to the OSM database used by a Geocoder; *and * 2. *the Geocoding Results are not used to create a new database that contains the whole or a substantial part of the original OSM database, then * the share-alike obligations of the ODbL are not triggered (per Section 4.4.b of the ODbL) .... *If Geocoding Results are used to create a new database that contains the whole or a substantial part of the contents of the OSM database, this new database would be considered a Derivative Database and would trigger share-alike obligations under section 4.4.b of the ODbL.* " there is also a definition for "substantial" in the context of Geocoding results: " A collection of Geocoding Results is not a substantial extract of the OSM database provided: 1. only names, addresses, and/or latitude/longitude information are included in the Geocoding Results, *and * *2. the collection is not a systematic attempt to aggregate all or substantially all Primary Features of a given type (as defined in the Collective Database Guideline) within a geographic area city-sized or larger. * " >From my understanding, wikidata is such a systematic attempt.
