Well, in fact (IMHO) there's no unclear guidelines, as the license is quite
clear in terms of Derivative Database licensing. Whether or not is it is
subject to change, at this moment (ODbL v1.0) a Derivative Database has to
be an ODbL database. What I'm not clear is if "community guidelines" are
strong enough to able to change it without touching the license itself
Or, trying to consider a database with geocoding data a Produced Work makes
me wonder what type of substantial (I guess we're talking country-wide at
least?) extract of the whole database _isn't_ a Produced Work anymore.
Regards,

Tadeusz
