The definition of 'substantial' is key here, isn't it? In one of the
examples I added, the result of OSM-based geocoding actions would
potentially be stored on a client in a collection of 'favorites'
together with other favorites that may be the result of tainted
geocoding. There's really two questions here - 1) is this collection
of favorites 'substantial' and 2) does this mixed storage trigger
share alike in an of itself?
