Are the silos even avoidable? I thought ODbL dealt with database rights, while CC-BY and CC-BY-SA dealt with copyright. That's a good thing because these rights are orthogonal but related, so it's very easy to screw things up if you try to combine them: see the non-free/open mess that often results when someone tries to use a copyright licence to enforce a trademark.
