You would need to have the right to redistribute the copyrighted material, which is sounds like you don’t.

I am currently planning on using ODbL with DbCL. When used together, the users of the database must comply with the licenses of the copyrighted material in the database. So it isn’t exactly relicensing the content.

I still don't get what you're trying to do. So your users contribute some text, pictures or measurements they did on their own? You can make them license that stuff to you and everyone, yes. But they can't upload some Harry potter books, pictures they downloaded, or whatever we call "copyrighted content". Adding that to the database will make it non-shareable. And you can't attach a license then. You'd have to write some terms of service and everyone needs to agree not to insert material into the database they didn't create themselves or got a license to redistribute. And they'd need to grant you a license automatically in that terms if service.
