The main question is: do I really need a copyright license to use,
modify and/or redistribute such a (published) database?
If the selection of the data that was put in the database involved
creative activity by its maker, then yes you need a copyright license.
If the database was created by a European company, then you need
a license under its database right. (No database rights for US publishers)
Are you sure of this? European jurisdiction protect database; If a
European Company wants tu use a database made by a US publisher; I think
it might be forbidden by European law. It is quite possible that a US
publisher of a database might prevent a European company using it before
a European tribunal. I am not a lawyer; so I am unsure; but I think this
should be investigated.
