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.
I partially agree.
First let's recall that removing this data is not the only possibility.
For what I understand, just adding a "license" field to sources and filling both the provenance and its license properly would be perfectly fine. I've (informally) been confirmed that by the lawyer I was already referring to. Note that with such a solution, it would still be possible to claim CC-0 for any item which was included in a compatible manner.
An other solution would be to migrate them to an other separated Wikibase instance, each with a compatible license. Of course this instances should offer the same accessibility within the Wikimedia environment.
That lead me to this question:
- what are the benefit for the Wikimedia community of using exclusively CC-0 for its single Wikibase instance usable in the rest of its environment?
This certainly should be answered and seriously documented along the corresponding drawbacks of such a sate of affair. Thus said, this question is off topic regarding the current ticket, and can be safely ignored until a ticket on this specific topic is open (if none is already existing).
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?
I'm fine with this question.
