[OSM-legal-talk] Some questions about using ODbL "Produced Work"

So, in my understanding you have just explained that an imaginery
screwdriver can be used to hammer a nail, 'cause nails can be
hammered, and giving a hammer as an example.
Please do not feel offended, I just hoped for a good explanation of
ODbL's 'viralness', escpecially when taking into consideration
Produced Work chain, and tiles' CC-By-SA license with "separate
channel" with any other rights inside. I understand patents work that
way (ie. you can't recreate something), but making it into a license
doesn't seem clear to me, and I don't think I've seen a lawyer stating
somethink like this. It would be great to have it explained.
Sincerely,

Tadeusz Knapik
