If data is based on copyright works it may be appropriate to restrict the license to allow only research / non-commercial use (e.g. this would prevent chord annnotations being published commercially).

However, if you want data to be reused in a citable manner remember to package the license and the *required citation* with the data. It means that however the data reaches the final user the only excuse for not being able to cite the data is that someone has bothered to remove the info...
