If you are concerned about the cost, you could place a copyright

non-RIPE NCC members would be required to contact you first and
arrange to pay a fee if they wanted to reuse the data or the results.
The whole point is that a detaled analysis of the data published
for all to see. I cannot see how to apply copyright in this environment.
You can apply copyright both to the collection of the data, and
to the compilation of the data. Telephone companies publish
directories with a certain number of known false entries. If another
telephone company comes along and wholesale copies the data, they get
the false entries along with the good ones. The copyright owner can
then look for the known false entries, and if they see them, then
they can prove that the other company illegally copied the data.
You wouldn't want to publish any known false entries, but you can
still claim copyright on the compilation of the data, and the
analysis you apply.
That is, if you want to. You don't have to. But this would be
one potential way to allow people who should have free access to the
data to do so, while also requiring that those who can afford it to
pay their fare share.
