Thank you for clarifying that you consider this to be a potential breach of copyright. I argue that your problem reflects a risk-averse approach.

<div dir="auto">Can you please explain how you think a CC-BY-NC-ND license forbids copying to private computers for data processing purposes? I argue that the kind of data / text mining that you propose is simply an automated form of reading and does not involve
creating a derivative work. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">One reason I assume you are not creating derivatives is because if you are, then the attribution requirement does apply to CC-BY material. If you are planning to use a public domain license you must not be creating derivatives.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">For the sake of clarity I understand we are talking about copying large quantities of material freely available on the Web to private computers for data analysis, with subsequent redistribution limited to copyright-free facts.</div>

<div>Another point: we agree that facts are not copyrightable. Assuming we are correct in this assumption, there is no argument for limiting this work to material licensed CC-BY. This kind of work could be carried out with material under any kind of license
including all rights reserved. </div>

<div>The research involves **copying** the material (often > 100,000 separate items) to several sites including public repositories and Wikimedia computers. This is only possible in practice with an explicit permissive licence such as CC BY. It would be a potential
breach of copyright to use material where explicit permission was not given on the document or metadata intimately semantically associated with it.<br>
