Something like CC-SA. The "SA" (share alike) part is important as it allow the database itself to be kept open. It should also be DFSG (Debian Free Software Guidelines) compliant and GPL compatible (ie no 'Non Commercial' clause, as this kind is usualy so fuzzy that it just penalize Free Software). I don't think GPL can easily apply to such database, but that give a rough idea of what we need in term of licensing.
