Secondary license -- imported database is "Creative Commons"

I've got a plugin under development that I'd like to release to the community, but there might be a glitch. The code's all mine, but the plugin operation requires the import of a separately-downloadable .csv (and associated database structure) that is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

Is this going to be an issue for submission to the Plugins?

That's a question a moderator can answer, but as I see it you may have a problem here. See http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?53-rules-for-plugin-contribution-submission

Addon/Contribution Requirements

Contributed Addons which are hosted in the Zen Cart® "downloads" area must comply with the following standards:

License: Must be GPL, since it's integrating into Zen Cart® core code, which is GPL. A complete copy of the license should be included in the contribution files, preferably as a separate file. If an addon is free-standing (ie: doesn't use any existing Zen Cart® files in order to operate) then it can be licensed under another license provided that license is fully compatible with GPL.

Hi.

Is the csv file you mention your own work, or are you re-using someone elses work, and it was their decision to licence as creative commons.

The CSV file is not my own work; it's separately downloaded and imported (via my code) into the Zen Cart database (i.e. not part of my distribution, but required for my functionality). It was their decision to license as creative commons.

Is it terribly troublesome to have the end-user obtain the CSV file separately? That would avoid license clash issues.

It may not be the most ideal, but if that's possible it makes this discussion moot.

This is what I encourage mod authors to do when their work has dependencies oncode with weird terms such as Dynamic Drive (Free to use, but no distribution). Installation step 1: download thus-and-such.

That's actually the way I've got the plugin (and installation instructions) structured. I add the (required) "This site uses ..." text to the store's tpl_footer.php but the plugin user must separately download and unzip the .CSV file for importation into the Zen Cart database.

The only thing that I've done in the plugin's distribution is include both licenses; should I remove the creative-commons one prior to submission?

Yes please.
