No, the guideline was explicitly about both individual results and
aggregations. Individual results are insubstantial, so no ODbL obligations
attach at all (attribution is one of the ODbL obligations). A collection of
results is not a Derivative Database *unless* the collection is used as a
general geodatabase (basically, if you tried to reverse engineer OSM by
mass geocoding). That means that in normal circumstances, for a collection
of results (an aggregation), the sharealike provisions *do not* persist.
