I agree that the new license is far from easy. However, this thread is about
finding a "hole in the license" to keep data private. And it seems there is
no hole...(unless you keep it in a separate, unlinked database)
The share-alike clause makes the license business unfriendly while at the
same time protects the data from exploitation. It is always a trade-off.
Regards,
Oliver
