Hi! Thanks for the great repo! If I use the data from your project what license should I use? 1) the same ODC ODbL? 2) no license included but mention your repo in the source?

What about the code in my project for which I wanted to use MIT License. Should I mention both? Thanks in advance!

Hi, AFAIK and according to the ODbL license, you must use the same license. You can use the example notice provided in the license: https://github.com/mledoze/countries/blob/86fd7ef8076dd65e2527b95d67d03e0b09044f42/LICENSE#L271-L275

You keep the MIT license for your project but you must add a notice regarding the data (and its license) from this repository. (Disclaimer: I am not a legal expert).
