[Docs] Clarify licensing information for bigquery public dataset #4143

Open sriumcp opened 3 weeks ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The README describes scorecard data that is available through a public BigQuery dataset. But the licensing info for this dataset is not explicitly described.

Describe the solution you'd like Please clarify the licensing info for this dataset in the README.

Additional context The data returned by the REST API is available through the CDLA Permissive 2.0 license as described here. If I were to guess, the BigQuery public dataset, which can be queried without the REST API (e.g., using the bq CLI) is also available under the same license terms. It would be nice to see this clarified.

Possible duplicate of #2713, unless this is specifically about BigQuery data and not API data.

Yes, this is specifically about the BigQuery data. The API data license is already documented.
