From my understanding, yes, it won't be possible to import data from Wikipedia infoboxes etc. into a CC0 WikiData. (At least under European Union law, where databases are protected by copyright)
is incorrect.
OK, to be correct, it's called a "Sui generis right" (SGDR)
However, I believe this is irrelevant. Creative Commons version 3 does include database rights for those localized licenses in legislations implementing database rights (e.g. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/nl/legalcode http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/legalcode http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/nl/legalcode%20http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/legalcode). They are included in the works, while at the same time, the license does waive any specific database rights to avoid database right proliferation.
That is interesting. I didn't know, that the ported versions of CC-3 (like the German) have such an additional clause for waiving SGDRs. Although Wikipedia explicitly referring to the *unported* version without the SGDR clause. [1]
Along with CC-4 something about SGDR will change.[2] If I understand it correctly, it will be similar to the ODbL. But it's pretty complicated.
However, I would find it weird, if something like a list of the streets of Berlin [3] would not fall under the same licence conditions as any other "normal" Wikipedia article, just because it is more a kind of a database.
