Hi, Houcemeddine,
Concerning the copyright issues, I'm unfortunately not sure that adding
those references is enough. Wikidata's data have a CC0 dedication, which
means that any data set with conditions of rights different from the
public domain can't be imported into the project. Although we can and
should meet the requirement of referencing the sources, the statement
that Wikidata's data have the CC0 dedication would no longer be true if
we mass imported data from WordNets (except for those WordNets in the
public domain, if any).
Best,
David

Dear all,
I thank you for your efforts. I saw with a lot of interest the work that
has been done to ameliorate the quality and the quality of the
Lexicographical Data. However, I know that most of the added data
already exists in WordNets. It seems that we are just reinventing the
wheel. I ask why we cannot have an automated method to integrate
WordNets in Wikidata. Concerning the copyright issues, they are solved
by putting the WordNets as references of the added statements.
Yours Sincerely,
