[Mateusz Konieczny]

It is likely, but it should be evaluated. I mentioned it because
sometimes people assume "CC0=can be imported" while it is definitely untrue:

>> In order to promote collaboration, exchange and sharing, as well as the use of open data by all, the Government of Quebec and several municipalities have adopted a common licence, Creative Commons 4.0 (CC), which comes in six variants.
>>
>> This licence is recognized as one of the least restrictive in terms of the rights to use open data, while protecting copyright.
>>
>> The universal Creative Commons 1.0 licence (CC0 1.0) can also be used, in particular to encourage the integration of data into a larger set of open and linked data, in which the origin of each piece of data can sometimes be more complex to recognise.
