Given than Wikidata is published under a CC 0 licence there’s nothing preventing Golden from using it as a knowledge source. Unless Golden provides a better editor experience I see no reason for anyone to contribute to Golden rather than Wikidata.

Just FYI, most of the content on Wikipedia is actually dual licensed under CC-BY-SA and GFDL. Both licenses are copyleft licenses; CC0 is more permissive.

Yes, but I’m talking about Wikidata (CC0), not Wikipedia (CC-BY-SA).
Whoops, I misread your comment! Sorry about that.
Parts of Wikipedia articles (e.g. some infoboxes [1]) are actually sourced from Wikidata, which is licensed under CC0 [2]
