As a stop gap, I've added 'cc0' and 'publicdomain' tags to datasets
that I was able to locate by clicking around.  Feel free to add these
tags to other data sets I've missed.

The following two queries will find some of the more liberally
licensed bibliographic data sets:

http://thedatahub.org/dataset?tags=bibliographic&tags=cc0
http://thedatahub.org/dataset?tags=bibliographic&tags=publicdomain
