Here's Nadja's message:

"So, the consequent question I asked then was, if you're not going to
use any (ISO or national) standard then how can you assure the WP
community that Wikidata is not violating someone's copyright(s)?"
My answer to that question was that we are using standards. And that
those standards have, in the process of their creation, a policy that
deals with issues of intellectual property. The link I gave you
details the policy for W3C standards, which we are using."
Hello Denny Vrandecic
I hope you have a lawyer who checks this, on a first 1 min glance at
this page it doesnt
look to me obvious that a collision (like when creating a
classification scheme as described in
my previous email and as John asked) is excluded, it looks more as the
regulations mostly cover
the issue about how you do your own licensing.
So sorry I still don't see this question answered. May be it helps if
you could tell me exactly which
paragraph in the regulations you think answers the above question.
Moreover I had the question about wether you would try to go into
negotiations with the ISO and/or
find a sponsor if necessary.
greetings nad
