| Dec 12, 2018 at 13:20 | comment | added | amon | @eiennohito There are two distinct aspects you need to consider: (1) The process of text mining CC-BY-SA 3.0 covered works. (2) The copyright in the resulting database. You are right that knowledge is not copyrightable (which is why databases aren't exactly copyrightable either, but rely on Similar Rights). However, the process of text-mining necessary to produce this database is illegal unless you have a license or copyright exception to the creative works you are mining. My answer argues that the CC-BY-SA 3.0 could be giving limited permission as long as you satisfy the ShareAlike clause. | |
