to make explicit that it is free, open source

IMO, we should remove the google drive link till we setup a free license for academic/research use (and maybe a paid one for commercial use). The data has people's faces in it and we should look at similar datasets for inspiration. Usually, databases with easily recognizable faces aren't available openly without at least a email validity check. Ideally, IMO we should have obtained written (digital or paper) consent (and not just a mutual verbal understanding) from the volunteers before making the data public.

Clarification: The code is free (maybe even MIT or Apache if not GPL or similar), but the data can't be free without limits.

I deeply dislike conversations about licenses and such, they don't end well.

The people that appear in the dataset (with their faces) should give their written approval for free use of this dataset. Once with that, I'd leave the dataset free for anyone to do whatever they want meanwhile they do no harm to the people appearing in the dataset.

What's the most open license? MIT?

Also, as stated in https://www.pixmoving.com/move-it

The ultimate IP is shared by the hackathon host and the participants. All the hackathon outcomes will be open source on Github. Hardware for Move-it Hackathon is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0). Firmware and software source for the Move-it Hackathon is licensed under the MIT License (MIT) unless otherwise noted.

So I'd say MIT.

It seemed implied when the dataset was collected but to be clear : I give you my consent!

slivingston commented 6 years ago

actually, all hackathon participants signed an agreement about open source release. at least, I signed one.

slivingston commented 6 years ago

however, I agree with the recommendation by @kunaltyagi. even if there was already an agreement about open source etc., the dataset deserves some care because it includes faces.
