   The licensing situation for #WikiTree is a shame too:

   #IANAL and I get that licensing a #genealogy database while protecting privacy is complicated, but the least they could do is adopt an #ODbL (Open Database License). Given their mission of ensuring the family tree they are collecting is never lost, it makes sense to remove any legal obstacles that might come from #SuiGeneris database rights in some jurisdictions, allowing personal backups of the database etc.
