Copyright applies to actual text (or other forms of expression), not
to ideas or the content.
Since the items do not allow to enter wikitext, there is no
compatibility issue due to the license. Filling the language links
based on the existing language links in the Wikipedias is not a
problem re copyright.
Cheers,
Denny

First of all the priority lies on data already present on Wikipedia. Wikidata should not
be a data storage for everything structured in the world, so we should first start to
transfer data already present on Wikipedia to Wikidata.

Wouldn't that kind of transfer be a violation of the CC-BY-SA license
used on Wikipedia, considering it is not compatible[1] with CC0?
If the data is actually copyrightable, then yes. Facts as such are not
copyrightable. But if there was a bot transferring stuff from infoboxes, it
should at least check for any actual text (e.g. long values with spaces), and
not transfer it, because of license reasons.
