It is a question whether the CC-licenses can be used to any major extent
when the individual data items are mere facts.
I wonder how you manage to attribute the data sources in aggregation
databases. You might need extra fields: 'source database' and 'license'.
I
suppose that is not in the Wikidata proposal? For Wikipedia you often use a
template to indicate source databases where attribution is required.
The source of a statement in Wikidata can be collected and it is an
integral part of the data model even.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Data_model has the whole data
model. Storing the license should also be possible.
