License for public dataset #204
Comments
IANAL but if we include actual source code, we cannot use a traditional software license (e.g. Apache or GPL), since it would be incompatible. We can look into some database licenses instead: https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/ |
I had a quick chat with @eiso about this, I wonder if he could share his knowledge here. |
@campoy using the ODBL 1.0 license suggested by @smola is a good option because we specify the individual content licenses to the best of our ability in the index file of the dataset.
There is another option which is the Community Data License Agreement by the Linux Foundation but it hasn't picked up a lot of steam since launch. So let's go for ODBL. |
Created an issue to track the change in the datasets repo, I'll close this one. |
Hi!
We need to decide about licenses we can (have to) use for public datasets and add it to guide.
Examples of licenses:
In PGA: https://github.com/src-d/datasets/blob/master/DCO
In other dataset related to data from Github: https://www.kaggle.com/davidshinn/github-issues
