License clarification for reuse in a research artifact
#4
by NewArtY - opened
Hello,
The dataset card for vblagoje/cc_news declares the license as unknown, and I would like to clarify the terms before publishing a research artifact alongside a paper.
What I used: a subset of revision 81eb2ce0d2a9dad6ad16b68ef750ec290880fa36, tokenized into windows of 256 tokens. Only aggregate statistics derived from them appear in the paper itself.
Two questions:
- Is there a license you consider applicable to this dataset?
- The underlying texts come from CommonCrawl News, where copyright remains with the original publishers. What terms do you consider applicable to redistributing tokenized fragments as part of a public research artifact?
Absent a clear answer I will not include the tokenized text in the artifact and will reference the dataset by path and revision instead.
Thank you.
