The European Union, Korea, Russia or Mexico have a specific intellectual property right protecting databases, separate from classical copyright.
It doesn't look like this right is considered in BEIPA, probably due to its US-centricity. It probably should be corrected.
To give a concrete example, an example of licensing leveraging this right is the Open Database License, which is a copyleft license. This licensing is what is used for OpenStreetMap, which is attracting more and more attention from big corporate players.
