Thanks to Gavin Wray for spotting this.

"The Open Database License (ODbL) is an open license for data and databases which includes explicit attribution and share-alike requirements.

"This license, the first of its kind, is a major step forward for open data. There are currently very few licenses available suited to data and databases and none which provide for share-alike (existing share-alike licenses such as the GPL, GFDL and CC By-SA are all unsuitable for data)."
