In the absence of enforcement they good guys will comply with the license if
they can.  If the terms are onerous then even the good guys will fail to
comply.

ODbL is way too onerous.  Firstly it's not easy to understand what would be
required for compliance (the language is unclear and even the best available
advice is conflicting) and secondly if the requirement is for a database
then it's impractical in many cases.
