No, no worries about personal consumption. What the OdBL requires you to do is to add missing products. Not add data outside the scope of the original database. (I'm a Open Food Facts admin)

Also please don't scrape us, since we release nightly dumps of the DB :)

Thanks for clarifying that. And that's great that those DB downloads are available. I didn't like the idea of scraping the data in the first place so never went that route.
Feel free to ping me at pierre openfoodfacts.org We have a online discussion chat, if you want to integrate OFF at some point, and have questions about the OdBL
