The person doing the tracing is a lawful recipient of a cc-by-sa licensed
work.  It will have the correct ODbL attribution, but there will be no
indication that they have any obligations to that license.  The only license
they have agreed to is cc-by-sa and that permits tracing.

The producer of the produced work may have obligations but the *recipient*
of the produced work does not.

You have permission to license the produced work, not the underlying
database.  See 4.8.

Can you publish a Produced Work under CC-BY-SA?  Personally, I don't
think you meaningfully can.  The only semi-reasonable argument I've
heard that you can, came from an ODbL lawyer who basically said, yes,
you can publish a Produced Work under CC-BY-SA, because CC-BY-SA
doesn't apply to databases anyway.

I think Ed Avis is right on that one, though.  "It's allowed to make

proprietary, all-rights-reserved
