Just say it’s for AI and you’ll have scores of people here defending you
You can’t license other people’s work. And you’re doing everyone a disservice if you attach some wrong license to copyrighted material. Someone might believe you, use it under those conditions and get sued. Please don’t do that. It’s not only copyright infringement, but also being disingenuous to the people downloading that content. The correct way to re-distribute copyrighted material is either ask for a license and attach what they gave you, verbatim. Or plainly say it’s not shared legally, or don’t attach any license. Don’t say it’s copyrighted and illegal to share, but also don’t say anything that isn’t correct, just put the files somewhere. (The latter 2 options aren’t legal to do. But at least you don’t claim anything that isn’t true.)
My bad, the title sounds wrong.
I am currently planning on using ODbL with DbCL. When used together, the users of the database must comply with the licenses of the copyrighted material in the database. So it isn’t exactly relicensing the content.
Why would you be allowed to share copyrighted works without a license from the rights holder that gives you that right?
Isn’t it fair use? No commercial usage.
Fair use has enumerated criteria. Do you meet them?
30 years ago, maybe. Post-Napster, not relevant. Most online piracy is non-commercial now, and it’s still illegal across most of the world.
This is what brought the pirate bay guys in jail, why the scihub girl is seen as a criminal by the US, and what caused reddit founder Aaron Schwarz suicide
No
Depends how you got it and what format it’s in. You would have to give more info but generally, public facing is fine. If you need an account to access the data, it’s probably not okay to share it.
That being said, if you look at kaggle, there’s a bunch of stuff on there that you wouldn’t expect. You can kind of just upload it and hope for the best.

Oh yeah. That’s great advice. That never goes wrong!
Oh wait. It’s not.
by sharing you are copying that copyright material, and you are not the rights holder, are you? So no, you are not allowed to do that.
