Question regarding data license #69

Open coelle opened 2 years ago

coelle commented 2 years ago

Hello,

I wrote an iOS App to scan the COVID test. Under which conditions can I use the file from the data directory? Currently it is a private GitLab repository and I like to publish it as a public GitHub project. Furthermore I like to publish the app in the Appstore for free.

Thanks

The data files are licensed under APGL just as the rest of the repo

@coelle That won't be possible, I tried it myself. Apple says:

We found in our review that your app provides services or requires sensitive user information related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the COVID-19 pandemic is a public health crisis, services and information related to it are considered to be part of the healthcare industry. In addition, the seller and company names associated with your app are not from a recognized institution, such as a governmental entity, hospital, insurance company, non-governmental organization, or university. [...] To resolve this issue, your app must be published under a seller and company name of a recognized institution. If you have developed this app on behalf of such an institution, please advise your client to add you to the development team of their Apple Developer account. If your client does not yet have an Apple Developer account, they can enroll for one as an organization through the Apple Developer website.

A friendly advice: save yourself the trouble and don't try it 😅
