In practice, CRAN maintainers do not allow multiple licenses for parts of the same package. At least they did not for my package a couple of months ago.
If that is the case then you could put your data files in a separate package from the code with one depending on the other.
Yes, and sometimes this even makes sense, as the data does not change often. This was, however, a package with several data sets, accompanying a book. So this would have been quite cumbersome. Gabor
