If I use your project what license should I mention?

evshvarov opened this issue · comments

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:

countries/LICENSE

Lines 271 to 275 in 86fd7ef

a. Example notice. The following text will satisfy notice under
Section 4.3:
Contains information from DATABASE NAME, which is made available
here under the Open Database License (ODbL).

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

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).
