As Mathieu pointed out, that is not the case in general. Also, I
believe CC0 (public-domain-like) is considered especially appropriate
for data licensing in the OpenData community, but I don't have any links
to back that up right now.
I am pointing this out here for future reference although it probably
runs against their "attribution" requirement in this specific case.
