There are fundamental differences between source code and data. Share-alike code does not prevent you from building complex applications, whereas share-alike data is a show stopper for anything not absolutely trivial.

I understand that OdbL is trying to address and alleviate some of these issues. Unfortunately I fear that I am not going to understand 'kafkaesque' legalese and I prefer licenses that I can understand without having to consult a lawyer. Maybe somebody wants to take the opportunity and explain in a few words how OdbL is supposed to work?

Cheers
