Objet : Re: [Wikidata] Integrating WordNet in Wikidata Lexicographical Data

Hi, Houcemeddine,

Concerning the copyright issues, I'm unfortunately not sure that adding
those references is enough. Wikidata's data have a CC0 dedication, which
means that any data set with conditions of rights different from the
public domain can't be imported into the project. Although we can and
should meet the requirement of referencing the sources, the statement
that Wikidata's data have the CC0 dedication would no longer be true if
we mass imported data from WordNets (except for those WordNets in the
public domain, if any).

Best,
David
