Not really. You only have to let people "Extract" and "Re-Use" the data.

I think that the wording of the license allows to, for example, let people 
sign up for an user/password that would allow them to remotely login into 
your RDBMS.

There is no explicit need for giving out database dumps (though giving out DB 
dumps complies with the license too).

Yes, but both notices can be merged into one very short notice.

Yes, but "provide the data" can mean either give out database 
dumps/shapefiles/GML/KML/whatever, *or* allow you to access the data via an 
API or otherwise.


(This is my personal take on the license drafts, IANAL, TINLA, yadda yadda 
yadda)
