Lydia,

Let's be clear here:

" We'll have to see what kind of data Google can free up and which part

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Primary_sources_tool "

Google IS freeing up all the data in Freebase.  It is Wikidata that will
pull in what it deems notable and worthy.

Wording choices sometimes give the wrong vibe. :)
