Lydia,
Let's be clear here:
" We'll have to see what kind of data Google can free up and which part
of that the Wikidata community would like to take in.
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. :)
As I understand it they may not be legally able to make all data
available under CC-0 and are doing it step-by-step.
Cheers
Lydia
