In my opinion, the DBpedia mappings and extracted information from Wikipedia are derivative works of the CC-BY-SA licensed Wikipedia templates and content, so CC-BY-SA probably should not be violated in that respect. You don't need written permission to use CC-BY-SA licensed materials, it is offered equally to everyone automatically.
The engine that uses the mappings could be licensed under another license though. Any private content that you use the extraction framework for with your custom mappings should not relate to Wikipedia or DBpedia.
