That does raise an interesting question - while the source of wikidata is claimed to be CC0 the source of wikipedia isn't:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights

A side-issue here is that that as I understand it* isn't compatible with ODBL, so those people using:

http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/source=wikipedia

probably shouldn't be using that as a source.

However the bit that I really don't understand is that, to take an example wikidata page:

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q23098

the source of that is from other, non-CC0-licensed places - how can the result be CC0?

Cheers,
Andy

* but please feel free to explain where I'm wrong here, in the jurisdiction in which OSM is based.
