Do you know websites (other than Wikimedia) that provide page views statistics ? I found stats about Wiki, but I would like to retrieve data from another website.

you can snag them here:

EDIT 3:
usgs landsat recently published some data regarding their data use; the post is more about the economic benefits of open data, however there's a really cool chart about data usage stats over time. hat tip to @dan for answering his question here:
Graph of Landsat Downloads?
you can read the report and view the chart here:

A.C.I.S. SEARCH TOOL - Animal Care Information System Search Tool shares some of its visitors statistics, which were much higher than i thought they would be, based off the tools design and functionality. but there's roughly 14000 days of data here:

analytics.usa.gov is a dashboard for analytics across dotgov sites:

LinuxFR, one of the most popular tech news websites in France, makes all of its web statistics public:
About 1 million visits per month on average.
For each month, a lot of data is available: see for instance http://linuxfr.org/webalizer/usage_201501.html
You can often find this information by searching for signatures of reports generaed by website reporting tools, and removing instances of the distributing website.
For example:
For a list of more web analysis tools, see AlternativeTo
The licensing might be questionable, but as these are data extracted using generic search tools, I don't believe that the data in them would be copyrightable. If that isn't good enough assurance for you, you can filter by US government websites.
