What is the license of ICEWS data? (not the license of the ICEWS R package, which is MIT license).

I cannot find the licence here: https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataverse/icews

Latest individual file seems to imply: "For Official Use Only (FOUO), government sponsored research activities." see https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/QI2T9A
Unsure it applies to all data. In any case the "terms" pane says "CC0 Public domain":

Unsure what FOUO means, some users on wikipidia say: public domain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:For_Official_Use_Only
which is consistent with the "terms"

Still, look at this:
https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/28075
Terms pane: RESTRICTIONS ON USE: THESE MATERIALS ARE SUBJECT TO COPYRIGHT PROTECTION AND MAY ONLY BE USED AND COPIED FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. THE MATERIALS MAY NOT BE USED OR COPIED FOR ANY COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. © 2015 Lockheed Martin Corporation and BBN-Raytheon. All rights reserved.

Hey, I'm not sure. I'm not affiliated in any way with the producers of the data, so it's probably better to directly contact them with this question. Looks like there is a "email dataset contact" button in the data verse repo.
