The Open Database License is a kind of share-alike license. share-alike does not work for data and cannot be considered open. It prevents nearly all interesting use cases and is the contrary of "freely available for any use as you wish". The cc0 licenses Nathan is suggesting are more what you are looking for. Best Marc
