Secondly, you *"Share Alike"*. If you do not make any changes to OpenStreetMap data, then you are unlikely to have a "Share Alike" obligation. But, if you _publicly distribute something that you have made_ from our data, such as a _map or another database_, AND you have _added to or enhanced our data_, then we want you to make those additions publicly available. We obviously prefer it if you added the data straight back to our database, but you do not have to, _as long as the public can easily get a copy of what you have done._ If you do not publicly distribute anything, then you do not have to share anything.

Nuno - I think you are operating under the mistaken assumption that a CC-BY-SA license would mean that uses such as Mattias's would require sharealike.

Here's CC-BY-SA's definition of a Derivative Work:
*"Derivative Work"*means a work based upon the Work or upon the Work and other pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical composition or sound recording, the synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this License.

Here's CC-BY-SA's definition of a Collective Work:
*"Collective Work"*means a work, such as a periodical issue, anthology or encyclopedia, in which the Work in its entirety in unmodified form, along with a number of other contributions, constituting separate and independent works in themselves, are assembled into a collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as defined below) for the purposes of this License.

As you can see from these examples (which focus on creative derivatives, since facts are not even copyrightable in the US and there is no US database protection law), a "derivative work" needs quite a bit of the original to qualify. The meaning of a "derivative work" was always much narrower than what a colloquial understanding of what "derived" might be, and the change in license did not change that.

        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.

        Bye
        Frederik
