Only *if* it is published at all does it have to be released unter CC- 
BY-SA. If you, and/or the original owner, keep them to yourselves,  
that's perfectly ok.

As it currently seems, the case would be lost from day one since you  
don't extract a significant amount of data from our "database", and  
so the EU database right doesn't apply, and data is free anyway.

Go ahead  ;-)
