Why not LGPL? That way the library stays free & open, the content stays
free & open, but you're making access to the database more widely available.

I can understand the desire to get money from commercial companies
availing if this, but the problemls with copyright assignment and the
organisational overhead seem more detrimental than beneficial.

Cheers,
