This is also how I'm reading this. Obviously the sticky point is the definition of what's a database in this sentence: "systematically recreate a database from the process". You can't abuse geocoding to recreate OpenStreetMap without triggering share alike. <br>

The definition of 'substantial' is key here, isn't it? In one of the examples I added, the result of OSM-based geocoding actions would potentially be stored on a client in a collection of 'favorites' together with other favorites that may be the result of tainted geocoding. There's really two questions here - 1) is this collection of favorites 'substantial' and 2) does this mixed storage trigger share alike in an of itself?<br>

<br>
Given that any database of geocoding results is going to be clearly based upon the Database [OpenStreetMap], and that any interesting uses of OSM are probably going to substantial, I don't see the definition of it mattering.<br>
<br>
In most of the cases raised in the wiki page, there's a derivative database of geocoding results and some other non-derivative database of something not taken from OSM, e.g. non-OSM POIs with just an address. You then take this collection of data sources and create a produced work, e.g. a page showing what the user has showed.<br>
<br>
Once you start taking actual POI information from OSM, not just addresses, then your POI database will also be a derivative of OSM.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
