So there are two parallel distribution and derivation graphs, of the<br>

<br>
That's not how licenses work. By default you have no rights. A<br>
license *grants* rights. The only way for the derived work (i.e. the<br>
produced work) to be under BY-SA is if the rights holder grants a<br>
license under BY-SA.<br>

And if you receive the database under ODbL you have the licence to grant such a licence on Produced Works.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Where does the ODbL give that permission?

Imagine a non-BY-SA licence on a work that says "you may licence transformative adaptations of this work under BY-SA as long as you attribute this work".<br>
<br>
The resulting work people release under BY-SA including the attribution to the original work both satisfies the original licence and is BY-SA compatible.<br>
<br>
That is the situation with the ODbL and BY-SA.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Where does ODbL say "you may license transformative adaptations of the work under BY-SA as long as you attribute this work"? It doesn't. It says the opposite. It says you can't sublicense the work at all.</div>
