Overall, I'd love to see us moving towards a share alike interpretation that applies to "<span>OSM</span> as the map" and allows for liberal intermingling of narrower data extracts. In plain terms: to specifically _not_ extend the ODbL via share alike to third party data elements intermingled with <span>OSM</span> data elements of the same kind. E. g. mixing <span>OSM</span> and non-<span>OSM</span> addresses should not extend ODbL to non-<span>OSM</span> addresses, mixing <span>OSM</span> and non-<span>OSM</span> POIs should not extend the ODbL to non-<span>OSM</span> POIs and so forth.<br>

Turning this around, when do you think share-alike should apply in a geocoding context?</div></blockquote></div><br><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-size:12.8px">If you methodically use a geocoder to reverse engineer the OpenStreetMap database, share alike would kick in.
