I believe that dedicated accounts are generally better for imports
than using "mixed" ones which are also used for original data. This
really helps a lot in sorting data according to its intellectual
properties holders. The only exception I could possibly see is data
that doesn't come with strings attached (PD/cc0).

Please note that even if you don't simply copy the data from another
dataset but do some redactional work on it, it will still remain
derived from the original source.

cheers,
Martin
