[OSM-legal-talk] Collective database

Hi everybody!

I have a question on the collective database under odbl.

The case: a navigation software uses data from two sources - the 
information on roads and buildings from a source under ccbysa, and all 
the rest - water, forest, borders, poi, landuse - from OSM. The map is 
prepared by a separate conversion software and then used by the navi 
program. The resulting map (a single file) contains data from both 
sources. Can this resulting map (which is a database by its inside 
structure) treated as a collective database? The data from OSM is not 
modified in any way and is not merged with non-osm data, it can be 
displayed separately.

So we have two different datasets in one file and we would like to 
release each dataset under different license. Is it possible?

Kirill
