That helps, thanks Jordan.

Can you ODbL the database, even if some of the data in the database may 
have third-parties with rights to it in various jurisdictions?

I think "early adopters" of this suite of stuff for library 
bibliographic data may currently not be using them correctly. Guidance 
is desperately needed.
