More Friendly License for Data? #20

Hello, thanks for sharing this great project. Would you consider changing the license for the data sets to CC-BY or CDLA (https://cdla.dev/permissive-2-0/)? Your software license is permissive, and that's great, but CC-NC is quite difficult to interpret. It is not a data license, and also, the definition of non-commercial is vague to begin with.

Hi, thank you so much for your feedback. ScienceQA collected the examples using online resources intended for non-commercial purposes. Therefore, ScienceQA falls under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.

I am not a licensing expert, so if I've overlooked anything, please don't hesitate to let me know. We are willing to consider a more flexible license if permissible.
