A curated data set is still a data set. I imagine it is not settled law, but there's a clear argument to be made that regardless of the difficulty in curating the data set, it's still a data set. Can it be licensed and sold. Yes, surely. Is it proper to pretend an open source license is sufficient protection, probably not.
