Open source? Can I edit it and publish my changes?

They explicitly forbid "selling" the data, so it's not open source in any usual sense of the phrase.

There's no "source" to be run/executed in the usual sense either, it's just information.

That being the case, wouldn't it be more appropriate to use one of the Creative Commons licenses? The non-commercial variants would accomplish the "don't sell it" part, but may be even more restrictive than they wanted.
