That's not correct. I can extract as many as I want. It's just not allowed that thew newly created database contains a substantial part of the OSM database.

When I create 100 databases containing 100 features each, it's different to 1 database containing 10,000 features. The first case isn't substatial, the second one might be.

> Costs has nothing to do with the license.

That's not correct. The database directive is all about protecting the investment, the database creator has invested into creating the database - no matter, what he has invested in creating the data, since this is covered by copyright of the elements in the database.
