Dataset on Zenodo: Record ID: 8101883 [1]
Dataset License: Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)

Overview:
The dataset incorporates components under various licenses, including:

  • Commercial
  • GPL
  • LGPL
  • MIT
  • BSD
  • Apache-2.0

Given the diversity of licenses, especially those with specific conditions like GPL and LGPL, alongside more permissive licenses such as Apache-2.0, BSD, and MIT, there's a potential for license compatibility considerations.

Suggestion:
It may be beneficial to review the dataset to align with the diverse licensing requirements effectively. This could involve:

  • Assessing the possibility of re-licensing the dataset to harmonize with the varied licenses, particularly focusing on GPL and LGPL requirements.
  • Exploring permission from copyright holders for their code's inclusion under CC BY 2.0, where applicable.
  • Considering the adjustment of content to maintain the dataset's licensing as CC BY 2.0, if possible.

This approach aims to ensure the dataset's compliance with open-source licensing standards and respect for copyright holders' intentions.
