Which is a false premise, map data isn't factual data and copyright on
maps doesn't care if they are stored in a database or in print form,
making maps takes creative effort, take 10 different mappers and give
them the same sources and you will end up with different end results.

We're not dealing with a factual database, we're dealing with map data
that just happens to be stored in DB form.
