Thanks for the brainstorming. I will bring the various usefull
considerations to my collegues. I'll let you know about the policies that
will be chosen, and consequently the road to achieve them.

Simplest, but if you send the key in plaintext then you might as well

That's a great point - I was envisioning a scenario in which end users are
to be (mostly) trusted not to take efforts to re-distribute the data.

Has somebody in this list ever had to manage this kind of obfuscation?

I agree that obfuscated source code is against the spirit of the GPL- 'The
“source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it'. There's also the remote possibility of a motivated
party working to de-obfuscate if the dataset is juicy enough.
