To keep along the sharing path that was adopted with the original choice of CC-BY-SA for contents one could argue in favor of OpenDataCommons' ODbL. It is basically the equivalent of CC-BY-SA but for data, and is the choice OpenStreetMap made among others. This could be a good way to ensure WikiData's full database won't be pivatised without any giving back to the community

Yep, until now we always have been discussing and are strongly leaning towards CC-0 for the data content, and CC-BY-SA for the textual content of Wikidata, i.e. the project pages, discussion pages, etc.
We are fully aware that most CC licenses are not adequate for data.
Cheers, Denny

Hoi, The question if CC is the right license for data is a bit limited; what CC license?. There are many licenses available by Creative Commons.
When you consider facts, on their own they cannot be copyrighted and consequently licensed. A CC-0 license would work really well for them. Thanks, Gerard
