Hello to all!
 
I would like to apologize for asking again, but unfortunately the answer did not help me.
I realize that the use cases are not the ultimate recommendation. Therefore I had additionally relied on the 
https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Community_Guidelines.
I am examining the use of OSM in various tools - this is where these questions came up.
And therefore it would be important for me to understand from when on which kind of use of the data leads to the cases mentioned in the questions (collective, derivative and so on).
I have even interviewed a lawyer, but so far with rather little success. :-(
 
So here are my 3 most important still open questions again:
Question 1:
If I store calculated results based on OSM data in a database table (without the actual OSM data itself), such as the number of specific
POIs, travel times, travel distances and so on - the database is then a collective database, a derivative database, a "produced work", or none of them?
 
Question 2:
Does the calculation of the above described results complies with the statement: "you geocoded your data"?
 
Question 3:
If I reference other data with the data from this result database, do I have to put the referenced data under the ODBL license? For the case
that the answer to Question 1 would be collective or a "produced work"?
In case of derivative, I guess the database must be under ODBL...
 
Since I haven't had any luck deriving answers to my questions from the Community_Guidelines so far, I hope it wouldn't be too much trouble if I could possibly get answers to every single question?
Many thanks for every effort in advance!
 
Kindly Regards
Birger

You are unnecessarily making your life hard. There is a big red warning
at the top of the "Use Cases" page, simply take it seriously (the
content of that page was written in 2012 a rather long time ago and
before any of the guidelines existed). The current relevant guidelines
are available from
https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Community_Guidelines

In your specific case, as it seems you are not actually geocoding your
data (that would be extracting address or location information from OSM
with 3rd party data), that would be the Produced Work and Collective
Database guidelines.

Simon
