Change license options

Open prabhant opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Since you cannot copyright tabular data, make only CC0 and public domain license options on tabular datasets uploaded to OpenML. And allow CCBY for Images and other high-dimensional datasets.

Can you elaborate on this, please? Is CC-BY forbidden for tabular data? It would be great if we could point our users to a better explanation about this.

Also, does that mean that tabular data should always be CC0, not 'public domain mark'? If it cannot be copyrighted, the 'no known copyright' mark doesn't make much sense?
