Contrary to Microsoft's lovely old FUD, copyleft isn't infectious:
it's heritable. ;-)

The ODbL represents a major shift away from full-stack copyleft in
order to address precisely the concerns that are being raised yet
again here. I suspect this is a classic example of a good compromise
being something that displeases everyone equally.

Luis mentioned that there's case law for the concept of "substantial".
There's no mention of this on the current Wiki page. I think it would
be productive to seek that out next.
