For example it includes location data from Google Maps (via import of location data from Wikipedia). In general, at this moment Wikidata ignores sui generis database rights. This is not blocking claiming that their database is CC0 under US law, but it is not true for example under EU law. And editing OSM based on Wikidata data us not the same as referring to it (though likely editing OpenStreetMap limited to changing wikidata/wikipedia links based on Wikidata/Wikipedia is fine. After all one needs to know what is linked - anything else would make creating any pointers to external databases illegal).
