I'm not a lawyer or anything, but would this work?

    To the extent that it is covered by copyright under any applicable laws,
    this data is copyright © 1984 Winston Smith.

    Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person
    [... and the rest of the usual MIT license text]

If it turns out not to be covered by copyright, this is a no-op; if it is,
it gives permission for more or less everything.
