TASK DESCRIPTION
  
https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=rightsinfo 
reports "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0",
  but since rEWME19fa5c88 wikidata.org's page footer ([[ 
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4321#footer-info-copyright | sample ]]) shows a 
more complex license ([[ 
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/EWME/browse/master/WikimediaMessages.hooks.php;63f6dc05512354c5c008f29e153de7ee9b01c7b6$83-84
 | set in the WikimediaMessages extension]]):
  > All structured data from the main and property namespace is available under 
the Creative Commons CC0 License; text in the other namespaces is available 
under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License
  
  As I understand it, the API query for `rightsinfo` should reflect this. It 
uses `$wgRights{Page,Text,Url}` to fabricate the rights info. I think 
wmf-config doesn't change these for  'wikidata' hence its returns the same info 
as other wikis. But there's a wmf-config/Wikibase.php that sets
      $wgWBRepoSettings['dataRightsText'] = 'Creative Commons CC0 License';
      $wgWBRepoSettings['dataRightsUrl'] = 
'https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/';
  
  {T42459} may be related, though it says 'a wiki's "rights info" seems 
orthogonal'.
