I think that as far as viral licenses are concerned, the "public" is 
anyone who is not yourself, or part of your own organisation.

I think that the CC licenses often use "distribute or publicly 
perform..." which makes this a bit clearer, but ODbL also contains the 
definition:

 >>>
“Publicly” – means to Persons other than You or under Your control by 
either more than 50% ownership or by the power to direct their 
activities (such as contracting with an independent consultant).

Bye
