they do. and it's in the contributor terms: "ODbL 1.0 for the database
and DbCL 1.0 for the individual contents of the database". the
database is attribution and share-alike. the contents, as facts, hold
no copyright - so copyright law can't be used to enforce attribution
and share-alike conditions. collections of facts, as databases, can
hold rights and can be used to enforce those conditions.

cheers,

matt
