Also an interesting question but one that would probably have to be 
addressed to the CC people; there are likely many works that are 
currently licensed under CC-BY-SA but where the database rights are not 
included on purpose. I cannot imagine that all these should suddenly be 
"upgraded" to include database rights without the rights holders having 
further say. That would be, to continue my example, as if CC4 were to 
suddenly include all patent rights, no matter if those who licensed 
something *had* those rights to begin with ;)

If CC4 comes out with such indiscrimante inclusion of database rights 
then my guess is that it will either be automatically impossible to 
licene Produced Works under CC, or we will have to explicitly disallow it.

Bye
Frederik
