WordNet does not seem to be under a free license -- see
http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/license/
Since Wikidata's CC0 licensing allows commercial use, surely
integrating any kind of data from WordNet risks conflict with
WordNet's license?
I think that despite the confusing verbiage at the top, this is actually
a BSD license. It's also what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordNet
indicates. It's certainly more restrictive than CC0, but it's a free
license.
