Archives and database policy

Document to draft and discuss.

Rationale is: under French law at least, databases have specific rights attached to it, independant from rights/licenses relatives to what is _in_ the database.

We have to make clear that Mageia-designed/build/published database, whatever the form, are facilities to organize/publish contents and that the database license either matches its contents license, either has no right attached to it and only acts as a facilitator to the license terms attached to its contents.

In one simple sentence, Mageia databases sui generis rights are to be void, per design; so that anyone may export/duplicate this db without any constraint.
