Thanks Albert,

bullet points 10 and 11 were the points I was thinking about. What is/was 
unclear for me is what the definition of a "standalone media" is. Hence, does 
point 11 apply or not (applying would result in the fact that the data "must" 
be licensed under GPL).

Actually, I can very well live with the CC BY-SA 3.0 license for the data.

Greetings,
Andreas
