You should always install lintian from unstable. To do so create two
files:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/01-unstable.list
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable main
$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/01-lintian.pref
Package: lintian
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 601
Package: debian-policy
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 601
Try first
$ apt-cache policy lintian
which should show
Candidate: 2.5.88
and to make sure that your general preferences are set correctly
$ apt-cache policy dpkg
This should *not* have a candidate from unstable. Otherwise add
$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/01-unstable.pref
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 50
to make sure you will not upgrade your whole system to unstable which is
probably not what you want. Than do
sudo apt-get install lintian debian-policy
(This also pulls debian-policy from unstable which is also what you
want.)

I admit I'm unsure myself. Either it inherits the copyright of the
original data file (which should be mentioned in trnascan-se) or you
become the copyright owner. Besides this I doubt that data are
copyright-able at all. So I would not see any problem to use
