Yep. Exactly.

CC-BY-SA, famously, allows you to combine different types of "creative
content" as a collective work. Wikipedia regularly combines GFDL text with
CC-BY-SA photos, and no-one bats an eyelid: it's a collective work.

ODBL allows people to combine different type of databases. It's exactly the
same.

I like the idea of Pilsner at Dawn, I have to say.

cheers
