It complicated, but it's not overcomplicated. CC is not adequate for code and I belive that none of the code is GPL so your suggestion regarding AGPL is strange.

I'm curious what those are. I've never heard that before.

TLDR CC licenses don't cover source code distribution, patent concerns and general incompatibility with other software licenses.
Why isn't CC-by-NC-ND adequate for code? Kinda makes sense IMO and the summary looks useful?
> CC-BY-NC-ND is a type of Creative Commons license that allows others to use a work non-commercially, but they cannot modify it or create derivative works. This means the original work can be shared, but it must remain unchanged and cannot be used for commercial purposes.
Notwithstanding it's only applied to the data in this case, it sure looks like a useful license for code.
