My understanding is that we are in a rather different case with Wikidata. It would be more like we would consider fine to aim at extracting every single predicate possible out of Harry Potter books and release them under CC-0. That mean that you could potentially indeed rebuild the very same set of books with a prose automaton, but also (and most likely) many other prose variations. And if you would include predicates extracted from fanfictions from different sources and unsourced predicates around Harry Potter universe including potentially completely novel ones, that would probably be a even more closely corresponding analogy with the current state of Wikidata.
