Thanks for your clear answer. One more question, if you use GPLed software it is needed (virality) that you release your derivative work under GPL. I am concluding that DBpedia is released *both* on PD and under GPL. Is that corect? To be clear: you are free to release your code under the conditions you like but if you want to make a derivative work from GPLed software you have to release a "copy" (call it a "version") of your "derivative work" under GPL. This is true (AFAICT) for CC-SA licenses, also.
