Data loss can easily be avoided. Just abandon your attempts to change the
license.
If you want an ODbL licensed project why not just start one?

mechanism to users of OSM's data but it does not enforce that on their
produced works.
Why don't you try this. Import some Ordnance Survey Street View data into
OSM, then render it as a Produced Work with the ODbL required attribution:
"Contains information from OpenStreetMap, which is made available here
under the Open Database License (ODbL)."
Now take that rendered map and wave it under the noses of the nice people at
Orndance Survey and see how long it takes them to sue you for not complying
with their attribution clause.
