[OSM-legal-talk] some questions about "Produced Works" under the ODbL

[David Mirchin]

I apologize for potentially very "newbie" questions as I'm just joining
this list.
 
1. Is it clear that a "map tile" is an "image" within the definition of
a "Produced Work"--a work (such as an image...) resulting from using the
whole or a Substantial part of the Contents....?If not, what is the most
typical example of a Produced Work in the map context?
 
2. The definition of "Produced Work" is a work (such as an image or map
tile) resulting from using...a Substantial part of the Contents (via a
...query) from...a Derivative Database."  
 
Does it undermine something being a Produced Work if it results from
using BOTH a Substantial part of the Contents from a Derivative Database
AND some other data or database, such as a Derivative Database, a
proprietary database or user-generated data?  (Of course, it could be
combined with a dozen different sources.)  That is, is the Produced Work
something produced ONLY from the "whole or a Substantial part of the
Contents ...from this Database, a Derivative Database or this Database
as aprt of a Collective Database"?
