Just to be clear you assume that there are no geodata that isn't in
the OSM database? If there is also a non OSM database with lat/lon for
pubs then that should be share-alike, but for the stuff that isn't
geodata I can't really say

I don't agree with Frederik. Using OSM ID will link your database in
the same way as linking shared libraries does. Hence making your
database share-alike, again the question is what data should be
share-alike.
