We have a lawyer that can help determine that. It's not obvious to me (or you apparently) so I guess we should get one involved.

Apparently, although IA provided a large dataset to ReCaptcha, they never got any data back, and then after the Google acquisition, they got shut

I highly recommend we get IA involved if at all possible - it sounds like they have a data set they could provide us (identical to the one they provided ReCaptcha), or at least know exactly how to generate one. We could, you know, ACTUALLY provide them with the results and be good open content citizens.
I wonder if Google will try bringing patent claims against a reimplementation of reCaptcha.
