Copyright has to be about some concrete _expression_.

I'm afraid this is not the case. According to German law copyright is
all about what we call Schöpfungshöhe, and it seems that other legal
systems also subscribe to this concept---provided the interwiki links
are right, that is... ;)

But law is a matter of quality rather than size.

But quantitative indicators can be a proxy for quality. A dataset with
 just 200 statements has most likely been produced by dozens or hundreds
 of entities none of which can claim any meaningful exclusive right.

That remains to be seen. Every bit of text that is imported from
CC-by-sa-protected Wikipedia articles has to be weighed and put to the
test. Also, the sum is more than just an addition of its parts. Think in
terms of quality. Numbers don't count, as we say, iudex non calculat.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T193728EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: AschmidtCc: Lofhi, Nemo_bis, TomT0m, jrbs, EgonWillighagen, sarojdhakal, Agabi10, NMaia, Simon_Villeneuve, Jarekt, Rspeer, OhKayeSierra, Aschmidt, AndrewSu, Mateusz_Konieczny, Maxlath, Huji, Glrx, Realworldobject, Ltrlg, Papapep, Tgr, Ayack, Gnom1, MichaelMaggs, MisterSynergy, Pasleim, Cirdan, 0x010C, Sylvain_WMFr, Denny, Ivanhercaz, Pintoch, Lydia_Pintscher, Lea_Lacroix_WMDE, Aklapper, Psychoslave, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, ZhouZ, Mpaulson, Wikidata-bugs, aude, jayvdb, Slaporte, Mbch331, Jay8g___

But I'd argue that nobody would see such a dataset as problematic,
 especially because it's so small (few hundreds data points).

The more I personnaly dig into this questions, the more issues are
 opened and the less clear it becomes that there is an actual issue, and
 if there is an actual issue if there is a legal risk. Or even if there
 is a moral or ethical issue: I think we will all agree here that pure
 facts can be used by anyone (beyond private life one).

In such cases there is a simple rule which says that you should choose
the safest way in order to comply with the law, as any doubt remaining
would be baneful.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T193728EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: AschmidtCc: TomT0m, jrbs, EgonWillighagen, sarojdhakal, Agabi10, NMaia, Simon_Villeneuve, Jarekt, Rspeer, OhKayeSierra, Aschmidt, AndrewSu, Mateusz_Konieczny, Maxlath, Huji, Glrx, Realworldobject, Ltrlg, Papapep, Tgr, Ayack, Gnom1, MichaelMaggs, MisterSynergy, Pasleim, Cirdan, 0x010C, Sylvain_WMFr, Denny, Ivanhercaz, Pintoch, Lydia_Pintscher, Lea_Lacroix_WMDE, Aklapper, Psychoslave, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, ZhouZ, Mpaulson, Wikidata-bugs, aude, jayvdb, Slaporte, Mbch331, Jay8g___

Do all international laws
 recognize this ? I don't know, but I'm more confident on this point than
 on the first one.

Please don't get me wrong, but what good is it to have a discussion
between people who do not understand transnational problems in media law?TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T193728EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: AschmidtCc: Simon_Villeneuve, Jarekt, Rspeer, OhKayeSierra, Aschmidt, AndrewSu, Mateusz_Konieczny, Maxlath, Huji, Glrx, Realworldobject, Ltrlg, Papapep, Tgr, Ayack, Gnom1, MichaelMaggs, MisterSynergy, Pasleim, Cirdan, 0x010C, Sylvain_WMFr, Denny, Ivanhercaz, Pintoch, Lydia_Pintscher, Lea_Lacroix_WMDE, Aklapper, Psychoslave, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, ZhouZ, Mpaulson, Wikidata-bugs, aude, jayvdb, Slaporte, Mbch331, Jay8g___

Please note that there is not one copyright law. There are as many copyright laws as there are legal systems Wikipedia and Wikidata content can be retrieved from.

Exporting data that was published under CC-by-sa to a database licenced under CC-0 obviously is a problem, at least under German law. If I put an infobox in an article copyright law applies to it as much as it applies to the rest of the article.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T193728EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: AschmidtCc: Rspeer, OhKayeSierra, Aschmidt, AndrewSu, Mateusz_Konieczny, Maxlath, Huji, Glrx, Realworldobject, Ltrlg, pajz, Papapep, Tgr, Ayack, Gnom1, MichaelMaggs, MisterSynergy, Pasleim, Cirdan, 0x010C, Sylvain_WMFr, Denny, Ivanhercaz, Pintoch, Lydia_Pintscher, Lea_Lacroix_WMDE, Aklapper, Psychoslave, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, ZhouZ, Mpaulson, Wikidata-bugs, aude, jayvdb, Slaporte, Mbch331, Jay8g___
