The problem is this, ODBL is very complicated, much more so than a
simple copyright license.

In light of that, I'm trying establish if produced work (eg tiles) can
really be distributed under a non-ODBL contract.

If PD tiles are distributed, outside the EU, it is my belief that
those tiles can be derived from, which makes for a pretty big loop
hole.
