I guess the inherent question is: Why should anybody put a lot of/any
effort into the datasets - eg. augment its usefulness with the
combination of other *free* datasets - considering its limited further
use/audience - eg. no Wikipedia et al?

At least, thats what comes to my mind - even if we would qualify for
your license terms as a university library ;-)
