A significant part of Wikidata data was harvested from Wikipedia, in which for
example most
coordinates are produced using/copied from products with licenses conflicting
with OSM.
For example copying from Google Maps to OpenStreetMap (even indirectly) is not
OK, and copying
Wikidata coordinates (that were copied to Wikipedia from Google Maps) is also
not OK. Note that
Wikipedia allows and encourages to use Google Maps to obtain coordinate data
and other sources
that are not OK to be used in OSM.
