[OSM-legal-talk] When should ODbL apply to geocoding

[Simon Poole]

My understanding of the trivial transformation guideline is that the
data in the nominatim instance would fall under it (so you are not
obliged to supply somebody that  asks with a dump of your nominatim
database or your osm2pgsql rendering database etc etc, you can simply
point to the original data), not necessarily results extracted from it.

Some effort was spent during discussion of a potential metadata
guideline to use usefulness and/or interestingness as a criteria for
when SA applies, however that is IMHO a hopeless dead end, so yes
sometimes SA is going to be attached to stuff that nobody is ever going
to want to reuse.
