Definitely not. Data is either open or share-alike. It cannot be both. 
Share-alike data is NOT open. It is a serious restriction that prevents 
innovation and most interesting use cases from the beginning. It also 
makes users vulnerable to any kind of lawsuits.

Don't get me wrong. Everybody has the right to protect their data, but 
they should not call it open if they want to prevent others from using it.
