    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.
