ODbL has an attribution requirement. This lets you know where the 
original database is from, and your responsibilities should you recreate 
part of it.

Should you recreate part of the original database, you know your 
responsibilities due to the link to the license from the attribution.

There's no magic, the ODbL just follows its data using attribution.

(Also, "viral" is a misnomer. Copyleft is inherited from a parent rather 
than caught from a neighbor.)
