Probably not -- though it would depend. Obviously they would have been 
better off using a data-oriented license here.

Exactly. Particularly here I'm not sure what the downside would having a 
truly open license on the datasets for a music video animation. I would 
guess it was the general feeling of let's just put on a NC restriction 
to be on the safe side.
