Update licensing on the website

Open aboullaite opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

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

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.
