Licenses rework #86

Closed mmaelicke closed 4 years ago

mmaelicke commented 4 years ago

There are some fundamental questions, that I am not happy with. I included a set of licenses into the default list of licenses. But I also included noDerivative (ND) and NonCommerical (NC) licenses. I am not even sure about using the ShareAlike (SA) licenses. ND and NC are considered to be non-free licenses as particular kinds of usage are not allowed. As far as I know, ND would mean that any kind of remixing and building on the data is not allowed. Thus if a user downloads data, he would not be allowed to share or publish i.e. a modeling result. Even with SA I am not sure, although used all over the place. If I use data to make a graph, I have to share the graph with the same or an alike license. If the graph is published i.e. in HESS, it is published under a by attribution only license and anyone could use and distribute it under other terms (like NC). Thus the user would have to request permission every time he uses the data....
