Hi Ariana, what do you want to do with DBpedia data? Depending on your needs, your programs will probably run faster (and our servers will be less busy) if you either install your own triple store and load DBpedia datasets, or just parse the dataset files and extract the data you need. "Scraping DBPedia" just doesn't sound right. :-)
As for the license, don't worry - http://dbpedia.org/About says: "...accessible on the Web under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License and the GNU Free Documentation License." I am not a lawyer and I don't know much about licenses, but I think you are free to do whatever you want with DBpedia as long as mention that you used DBpedia and (indirectly) Wikipedia. See http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ and http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html for details.
