is incorrect.
OK, to be correct, it's called a "Sui generis right" (SGDR)
However, I believe this is irrelevant. Creative Commons version 3 does
include database rights for those localized licenses in legislations
implementing database rights (e.g.
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/nl/legalcode
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/legalcode
<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/nl/legalcode%20http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/legalcode>).
They are included in the works, while at the same time, the license does
waive any specific database rights to avoid database right proliferation.
That is interesting. I didn't know, that the ported versions of CC-3
(like the German) have such an additional clause for waiving SGDRs.
Although Wikipedia explicitly referring to the *unported* version
without the SGDR clause. [1]
Along with CC-4 something about SGDR will change.[2] If I understand it
correctly, it will be similar to the ODbL. But it's pretty complicated.
However, I would find it weird, if something like a list of the streets
of Berlin [3] would not fall under the same licence conditions as any
other "normal" Wikipedia article, just because it is more a kind of a
database.
