True, but our immediate, admittedly egoistic, interest is that we are
free to use any improvements (in a wide sense of the word) to OSM data
and that derivatives of OSM remain free.

The licence is substantially more restrictive in what it effects
(original OSM data and derivatives of it) than you are portraying it. In
particular it explicitly allows combination with other data without
effecting the legal status of such. IF the ODbL had the effect you
attribute to it, then we would really have a problem (and likely OSM
usage would go through the floor).

But the license doesn't exist to collect data for OSM.

It exists to ensure that all the users (or in the terms of the license,
all its recipients if you Use it Publicly) of that data, in combination
with whichever other data and in whatever form and wherever they
encounter it, are free to use it.

If that leads to patients having better access to their medical data,
people being able to find somewhere to park, players of games being able
to maintain and modify them creatively to build communities around them
and drive sales, and people being able to check the actual rankings of
the restaurants they're being directed to that's definitely a win for
Open Data.

Not currently in UK, but I can generate tiles for them, for the use
described.  I'll insist that they meet their attribution obligations
of course.  :-)

My understanding of fair dealing is that it would not apply here
(different in the states or for example in Germany).

Is this different to publishing a book (full copyright) with osm cartography  
(cc-by-sa) in it? I would expect that they can do it, the maps would remain 
cc-by-sa but the film could be cc-by or any other license (agree with Eugene, 
fair use unless the film is mainly maps). 

Btw, this was already happening in the past, a German TV series had some osm 
maps in it pretending it was the police cartography system and AFAIR crediting 
osm in the titles.

cheers,
Martin

I think fair use/fair dealing could apply here and they have no
obligations? (But an attribution would be nice.)
