<p>To answer the questions caveat there is no relevant court
decisions that I know of, so this is all likely untested:
insubstantial changes to a database do not create a new one, but
substantial changes do. Where the line is drawn, or better where
the OSMF draws the line, is currently open. See article 10

<div>I saw Brexit in the minutes for September</div>
<div>"At the end of year we won't be losing database rights
immediately."<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>General guidance I've seen appears to say:<br>
</div>
<div>- database rights accrued before 2021-01-01 persist (as
I've seen discussed in minutes)</div>
<div>- database rights accrued from 2021-01-01 will exist only
in the UK (if at all: I can't see any enabling legislation
after a quick look, and this may have gone into the Govt's
"later" tray - so copyright may be the only protection).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The last point suggests to me that any edits made after
2020-01-01 will have less protection than so far has been the
case. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is that your understanding? Or is the database as a whole
protected because the architecture has been built, and
subsequent edits are protected modifications of an
already-protected creation?</div>
