> Facts don't *have* licenses. They have sources, and we track those. Works well in an environment of no original research. Things get onto another level if I have a fact that is of value in other fields of research. I can then either keep it for myself until it is published in a paper that will be quoted by Wikidata...
...or I need options to state the fact as "herewith published by me and to be quoted as my research..." I am actually eager to get an environment in which I - as a researcher - can dare to open the box and to play with my research in the open environment. o.
