Is  the ODbL attribution viral?

For produced works the only requirement is to include the following text:

Contains information from DATABASE NAME, which is made available

How does this constrain a recipient of the produced work to keep the
attribution intact?  It's not a license for the recipient and if the
produced work was published as PD, for example, then the recipient can do
whatever they like.

I don't understand how that binds the recipient or even how that satisfies
the claim in the CTs that "OSMF agrees to attribute You".

Can you explain please?
