IMO, you can really only be sure if:

- it's your data
- it's public domain-like data (e. g. at most it requires you to attribute)
- if you have the express permission of the data owner to contribute under CT

I explicitly think we need to clarify this section in the current CT and avoid having any data imported that cements the current licensing status for all times.
