To keep along the sharing path that was adopted with the original choice of CC-BY-SA for contents one could argue in favor of OpenDataCommons' ODbL. It is basically the equivalent of CC-BY-SA but for data, and is the choice OpenStreetMap made among others. This could be a good way to ensure WikiData's full database won't be pivatised without any giving back to the community
