Update licensing on the website
We need to specify/separate the licensing for the code and for raw data. On the github repo we mentioned MIT license, however on the website it still BY-NC-SA 2.0! We should probably opt for ODC-ODbL for raw data
Create a LICENSE file in root project and put the content of MIT Licence. Please make sure to change:
-
<YEAR>
by 2021 -
<COPYRIGHT HOLDER>
by DevC Morocco
@aboullaite @yjose Please confirm COPYRIGHT HOLDER
@MidouWebDev please yourself :)
Yes! There are 2 licenses here. One for the website and one for the data. MIT is the license for the website. You need probably to add another one ODC-ODbL for raw data under survey. The license holder should be Geeksblabla I believe
What we can do is:
- Keeping the MIT
LICENSE
file in the root level that outlines the terms of the chosen license for the repository as a whole. - Add another license file under
./results
stating that the data is under ODC-ODbL license. - Additionally, in the README file, we can clarify that the code and data are separately licensed, and provide links to the individual licenses for each.
I think this approach covers both data and code sensibly. I'll create a PR with the changes and we can take it from there.
@aboullaite, please feel free to close this issue. Fixed in PR #97.
