@Psychoslave sorry to disagree on the questions, but are we in any disagreement on these three questions?
We should not allow the (significant) import of data from databases which are licensed under a license incompatible with CC-0.
We should enforce that.
We should document the licenses of imported databases.
We should remove data that has been imported from databases which are licensed under a license incompatible with CC-0.
That would be my answers. I don't expect you to disagree with that.
What I think the main question is whether Wikidata's extractions from, e.g. Wikipedia and other natural language sources, actually constitute such a case. In my opinion, that is not the case. The extractions that we have, and the way the data is expressed in Wikidata, are, in my understanding, not sufficient to constitute a rights breach of Wikipedia's copyright holders.
Should that be our question, whether that is the case? I would find it a shame to ask questions where we agree upon the answers, and not use the resources most effectively.
So my suggestion for the question would be:
Can you comment on the practise of extracting data from Wikipedia articles, which are published under CC-BY-SA, and storing the results in Wikidata, where they are published under CC-0?
What do you think?
