Firstly, I am not making a PD argument but an ODbL argument here.

Secondly, I'm not redefining anything, just pointing out the existing 
definition.

Thirdly, I'm slightly offended by your "I've yet to see an argument ... 
instead of just opinions just as yours". I guess if all I can say is 
"just an opinion" while what you say is a proper "argument" then maybe 
I'll just recommend that you re-read the previous 2 years of legal-talk. 
The idea of no restrictions on produced works in ODbL doesn't come out 
of nowhere.

An equivalent to CC-BY is currently in the works over at OKFN.
