And to be clear, I think this was a mistake and told CC that at the time; the basics of why I feel that way I collected a year or so later as https://lu.is/blog/2016/09/12/copyleft-and-data-database-law-as-poor-platform/ and some subsequent posts. But 4.0 is what it is - an attempt to shoehorn database rights into a copyright license. Luis
