i am not sure if it is a good idea to include the database language
in the unported licenses. as you note above the database language
should only be included in jursdictions where there is sui generis
protection of databases. now unported is not a jurisdiction, but the
majority of jurisdictions that do not have ported CC licenses does
not have sui generis protection of databases and therefor i would
that there is no real urgency to include this language in the
unported licenses
all the best,
