[OSM-legal-talk] ODbL for the DB; what about the contents?

In the preamble for the (old) ODbL draft, it advised that it should be
used with another licence for contents, the ODbL being designed to
protect database rights.

I believe many contributions would deserve some protection in their own
right, they’re not simply “facts”.  How will this be handled?

(I also commented on this at:
