My understanding is that the project is treating works under CC-3.0-BY

Hello.
I am working on a GPL-ed program and found this very useful database
which is licensed under CC-3.0-BY. I think that since my program is
going to only parse the database and not link to it in any sense of
the term, it is not a problem to use this database for my program even
