[OSM-legal-talk] Using OSM to geocode commercial data

My apologies.  We allow users to make long-distance requests for data, and we wish to geocode both what they are asking for, as well as the response.  E.g. they want a picture of a building at this point, and they receive one in return.  The public can access our system, but they only can see the responses to their own queries (with attached geocode).  Based on your response, would that not be publicly conveyed?Thanks,Justin

I have difficulties understanding exactly what a "dropped request" is
supposed to be.
 
In any case the share alike terms of the ODbL only apply to a derivative
database that has been publicly conveyed.
