In case you missed my previous email to explaining this (and for the
benefit of those who didn't receive it), my main sticking point is
this:

"If you publicly use any adapted version of this database, or works
produced from an adapted database, you must also offer that adapted
database under the ODbL."

I find that to be completely infeasible from a technical standpoint.
I don't keep around copies of my adapted databases after I create a
produced work from it.
