→Why?
We came to the conclusion that this was the best licensing model after some hesitation. This hesitation stemmed from the hope that it would be possible to construct a copyleft data license, or reuse the only existing one ({{Q|1583}}). We became convinced this was futile and thus a bad idea through reading these references: {{Q|2008}}.

In contrast, in much of the world (and certainly in the US), if you show that a database license is legally invalid, then you get database’s default: which is to say, you get everything. So someone who doesn’t want to follow the copyleft has very, very strong incentives to demolish your license altogether.

Essential to understanding the importance of this quote is that databases are not universally recognized as protected through copyright, unlike software.
So what should we do instead, especially given that we want to recognize the work of everyone in this space? ''{{Q|2907}}'' suggests to rely on norms. We expand a bit on this in the next section.
