It must be the data being substantial, not the use case. 

Do we have a community definition of what is substantial? 

If your geocoder/reverse geocoder let's say returns a place node with all its attributes: is this substantial? 

This is IMHO the key question. 

If it's not substantial,  then there are no restrictions coming from ODbL.
