Do you think there is something "shameful" about Wikipedia using the
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License?
And if that isn't shameful, why would it be shameful if Wikidata used the
same licence?
Attribution has a dual benefit:
1. It provides visibility for Wikimedia and the open content movement.
2. The public can see where the data comes from.
What is shameful about that?
