Thanks for the clarification, Kathleen.

1) We are not sure, if the new polygons somehow derive from OSM data.
If the polys are either trivial or completely non-OSM, they add a
geometry, not already presend and includes no OSM data. Therefor it
will not trigger share-alike.

#trivial
To my eyes the polygons seem to be roughly drawn from OSM data and in
other cases arbitrarily – possibly derived from local knowledge. You
can find german comments, rather generic ones. These independently
drawn partitions of land seem to reflect somewhat inaccurate or rather
vague estimates of various properties, such as noise pollution,
quality of view or perhaps some worth estimates. I could not see
anything that is verifiable, according to OSM standards. But I may be
very wrong. At a quick glance this seems trivial and of little use for
OSM. Perhaps if those scores represented paid prices or actual rents
the polys would somehow become data about something. But I couldn’t
find any indication for that.

2) Those scores add a type of data for a primary feature not present
in OSM and includes no OSM data already. So, as Kathleen already pointed
out, they quite probably won’t trigger share-alike. Maybe the scores are
calculated from other OSM features in some fashion and is therefor
somehow already present in OSM. But I don’t see how.
