It seems what you are talking about is that this data set made available
for download:

https://maxar-marketing.s3.amazonaws.com/product-samples/Iran_DataSample_December2020_%282.0%29.zip

which seems to be a sample for a larger data set, appears to be -
without doubt (easiest to determine based on the road geometries) - a
derivative of OpenStreetMap data.  This is acknowledged in the data
itself to some extent with a "SOURCE=OpenStreetMap" attribute but not
anywhere else.

The sample data is claimed to be made available under

https://www.maxar.com/legal/evaluation-license

which quite evidently is not ODbL compatible.
