Interesting. I knew the ODbL text but I have always glossed over this definition, assuming that "well you know what derived means". I'll have to ponder this for a while, it changes some assumptions I had made. It would mean that, for example, a database that contains a count of all pubs in each municipality, or a database that contains the average travel time from a building in a city to the nearest hospital, or a heatmap of ice cream parlours, would not fall under the ODbL because these, while derived from OSM, do not actually contain a copy of anything in OSM (and neither could they possibly be used to reassemble OSM). I had until now assumed that such works would definitely fall under the ODbL but you are right, they don't really fit the "Derivative Database" definition.
