One thing I forgot. My whole interpretation of the ODbL is based on the 
assumption that we have share-alike on interim databases used to create 
Produced Works, as was the case in the previous license draft and is 
explained in detail on

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Suggested_Changes#The_.22interim_derivative_database.22_problem

I think that there is broad consensus that the license needs to be fixed 
in this respect and that this was just an oversight and not a deliberate 
change.

In the light of this, it would be not very productive for the lawyer to 
analyse the use cases based on the current wording of the ODbL, but he 
should take into account that we intend to make this change. Otherwise 
we will have to repeat the whole procedure after having made the change.

Bye
Frederik
