[OSM-legal-talk] questions on "Collective Database" definition

Thank you everyone for the helpful responses on the "Produced Work."  I
had two sets of additional questions, which I'll pose in two separate
emails for clarity.
 
The first set is about Collective Databases.
 
 
1.  It appears that a Collective Database is only when the OSM database
"in unmodified form" is part of a collection of independent databases
which are assembled into a collective whole. Does that mean that if the
OSM database is modified (to create a Derivative Work) that it can never
form part of a Collective Database?
 
2. If that is the case, what is the treatment under the ODbL of a
Derivative Database which is assembled together with other databases?
(since it can't be a Collective Database)? (And of course, if there are
implications for the licensing rules applicable, I'd be interested.)
 
Thanks
 
David
