As I think I mentioned already before I don't think that ODBL will help. 
That's why I prefer PD because I believe there is no protection and so

That's only an issue if you copy blindly from any map, which I would

adhering to community guidelines. Legally I don't see any problems using 
informations from any map (or aerial imagery).
