If it would exploit the database in a manner where this word legally 
applies, it would break the rules the Foundation has and therefore break 
the law, AFAIK.

"Exploit" is what (according to a IIRC legally back statement) someone 
residing in e.g. the US can do with the database under the current 
license, by downloading it as a whole and use or make it available under 
PD or any other terms he likes.
