I have a hard time seeing how any of these usecases can be anything other
than insubstantial extractions. The database directive (article 15) says
that "Any contractual provision contrary to Articles 6 (1) and 8 shall be
null and void" where 8 says that extraction of insubstantial parts are
allowed.

Why would we want to make guidelines that are "null and void" in the EU? I
cannot see any gain for OSM in trying to overstate our rights.
