[Chris from OpenCorporates here]: Any code you write is your code... and we'd be happy for you to share it by whatever means you want, e.g. by pushing to a public github/gitlab repo. We did originally plan to do this by default, but in an earlier version of this work some contributors said that they didn't mind OpenCorporates having the benefit, but didn't want proprietary business information companies to have it.

We've got a ticket to add to the manifest and option public_repo field, so that the location of the public repo is easily discoverable, and hope to implement in the next week or so.

The share-alike refers to the underlying data, but again, if you want to make it available to the world under a CC0 licence we have no problem with that.

Hope this clears things up. C
