[OSM-legal-talk] License question, user clicking on map

[Jake Wasserman]

Alex,
I'm a little confused.  The way I interpret your comment, merely storing
ODbL and non-ODbL data in the same database triggers share alike.  But on
the use cases wiki page (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/License/Use_Cases), Case 4 says:
'It makes no difference whether you store the data sets separately, or
together in the same "database" software, whether that is a RDBMS, NOSQL,
filesystem or anything else. So long as the other data isn't derived from
OSM, the result is a Collective Database, not a Derivative Database.'  In
other words, storing ODbL and non-ODbL data together does not trigger share
alike.

Just trying to get some clarification.

Thanks,
Jake
