I received an email from a lawyer who claims that the text of the
ODB-BY license has a clause which falls under the concept of
share-alike.
But, according this schema, the license is not a SA
http://opendefinition.org/licenses/

The issue is related on this side of the text license

“If You Publicly Convey this Database, any Derivative Database, or the
Database as part of a Collective Database, then You must:

a. Do so only under the terms of this License;” (followed by
other conditions, but for this discussion only the first condition is
relevant)
