If the data is actually copyrightable, then yes. Facts as such are not copyrightable. But if there was a bot transferring stuff from infoboxes, it should at least check for any actual text (e.g. long values with spaces), and not transfer it, because of license reasons. -- daniel -- Daniel Kinzler, Softwarearchitekt Wikimedia Deutschland - Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.
