Each and every one is important, I would like to add the following:
- Copyright status of government works / official works (if done
correctly, useful for all projects including Wikipedia and Wikimedia
Commons, think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthrise)
- Database rights (A mostly European madness, should be repealed:
