IANAL but I think in Europe it's the same with factual data. But, we're a project that has been claiming CC-BY-SA was valid for at least some time initially and on multiple occasions have sent people mails if they didn't comply with that license so it really would be difficult to pull the "your license is not enforceable anyway" now in relation to other people's datasets.
