Licence for game data

Hey,

As you already know, I'm getting a Glest package in shape for FE. I'm almost 
done, but I'd like another advice. The license for the game code is GPLv2, 
but the license for the game data reads :
« This software is provided without any express or implied warranty. In no 
event shall the author be held liable for any damages arising from the use 
of this software.
This software may be redistributed freely, but all redistributions must 
retain all occurences of the above copyright notice and web site addresses 
that are currently in place. »

It doesn't say that I may modify it, but since one of Glest's features is 
that it can be modified using XML, I'm pretty sure they overlooked it in 
the licence.txt

So I was going to ask the team for clarification, but which licence should I 
propose for game data ? BSD ? CC-BY ? CC-BY-SA ?

Thanks

Aurélien
