There is no copyright under ODbL. There is sui generis database rights.

And who, will you ask, holds those sui generis database rights? Anyone who 
spends time and/or effort on editing/structuring/massagind the data. And you 
give away part of those rights with the ODbL, the same way CC gives away some 
rights.
