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.
