I would say you should not risk having someone coming  some time later, when 
the data has been integrated and enhanced, and force you to remove all 
because they don't want their intellectual property being used.

So if you don't know where the data come from you should not used it.

Maybe you could get in touch with the people who provided the data and ask 
them where it comes from.
