What I want to do: There is an article on Wikipedia - List_of_pies,_tarts_and_flans. Assume that I want to get from that article only table that contain list of pies. I want to get only it data (only facts, only copying "words" from the "name", "origin" and "type" columns, but not from "description" column ), without pictures. Let's assume that I want to create pies database using data from this table. And than I want to build some website, in which user can get "list of random pies". This "random pies" will, of course, be gotten from that database. At one time, user will get only some limited amount of such pies. For example - generating list of 10 pies - by one pressing of button "generate random pies".
So I need help with next: Is this tables are under license CC-BY-SA as part of an article, and their use is controlled by this the same license? Or use of this tables fall under the Sui_generis_database_right? In any case, how I can organize correct using of this and similar tables, of their data, for purpose mentioned above? What articles do I need to look on.

- Keeping in mind I'm not a legal expert, but there is an awful lot of text in that table, which would call under the Creative Commons release. I think suis generis is really more for things like a simple list or table of items with no significant (i.e. sentence-like) material (e.g. a simple list of foods or agricultural products). So, in my entirely non-legal opinion, you'd be welcome to copy and use the content provided you gave attribution to Wikipedia. If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.
