The EADL data was created by US Government employees (Lawrence
Livermore).  So there is no copyright in the US.  Also, in the US,
there is no copyright in a set of facts.  However, as a courtesy, you
should preserve the credits.

I found this.

Is it DFSG-free ?

Yes excactly, I forgot to split the two.

one copyright for non-SRD data and one for SRD data

I think that I just need to check if my data are SRD or non-SRD.

Surely there is a separate licence for this part ?  Without a separate
licence, this data is unredistributable by anyone (other than NIST).

Having said that, I couldn't find one.
