there is no indication in the ODbL that using a database of addresses and an OSM db to create a database of coordinates has something to do with a "produced work" or a database of produced works. Actually I find it very hard to call an address or a pair of coordinates a "work" at all. The only time I have encountered this is was on a wikipage on geocoding, which had a big warning disclaimer on top: "This geocoding community guideline is an early draft proposal and should not be treated as equal to the community guidelines that have gone through the full process and have been endorsed by the OSMF board <http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/License/Community_Guidelines>.", where in one of the first paragraphs there is this unproven claim: " Geocoding Results are a Produced Work by the definition of the ODbL (section 1.): “Produced Work” – a work (such as an image, audiovisual material, text, or sounds) resulting from using the whole or a Substantial part of the Contents (via a search or other query) from this Database, a Derivative Database, or this Database as part of a Collective Database."
