"The Licensor (as defined below) and You (as defined below) agree as follows:" reads the beginning of ODbL. The Licensor is the natural or legal person the that offers the Database under the terms of this Licence. Who will be the licensor (owner) of the database for OSM?
For the factual information license, the wording is rather similar, but here the OSM user is the Licensor. Who will be You? When applying the license to a database, you do this by adding a copyright notice. In what jurisdictions will this form a legal contract? What will happen if a database is distributed without the copyright notice? - Gustav
