Here's a specific question that might be detailed enough in description: suppose we have a collection of facts (say the names, countries, inception dates, and official websites for a collection of organizations) that has been extracted from multiple sources, including various language wikipedias, a CC-0 data source (for example https://grid.ac/) and a non-CC-0 non-wikipedia data source - these sources would be indicated in wikidata by the reference/source section on each statement. This extraction has been done by users either manually or running bots with the understanding that they are adding facts to a CC-0 database (wikidata). Reconciling the facts - for example merging duplicates with slightly different names, dates, or URL's - has been done by users manually or semi-automatically, again with the understanding they are contributing to a CC-0 database. Are there any copyright or other rights constraints that apply to this collection, or can it be fully considered to legally be CC-0?
