|
|||
|
|
This is the Community Data License Agreement – Permissive, Version 1.0
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(“Agreement”). Data is provided to You under this Agreement by each of the Data
|
|||
|
|
Providers. Your exercise of any of the rights and permissions granted below constitutes
|
|||
|
|
Your acceptance and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
|
|||
|
|
Agreement.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The benefits that each Data Provider receives from making Data available and that You
|
|||
|
|
receive from Data or otherwise under these terms and conditions shall be deemed
|
|||
|
|
sufficient consideration for the formation of this Agreement. Accordingly, Data
|
|||
|
|

1.1 “Add” means to supplement Data with Your own or someone else’s Data, resulting in
|
|||
|
|
Your “Additions.” Additions do not include Results.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1.2 “Computational Use” means Your analysis (through the use of computational devices
|
|||
|
|
or otherwise) or other interpretation of Data. By way of example and not limitation,
|
|||
|
|
“Computational Use” includes the application of any computational analytical technique,
|
|||
|
|
the purpose of which is the analysis of any Data in digital form to generate information
|
|||
|
|
about Data such as patterns, trends, correlations, inferences, insights and attributes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1.3 “Data” means the information (including copyrightable information, such as images
|
|||
|
|
or text), collectively or individually, whether created or gathered by a Data Provider or an
|
|||
|
|
Entity acting on its behalf, to which rights are granted under this Agreement.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1.4 “Data Provider” means any Entity (including any employee or contractor of such
|
|||
|
|
Entity authorized to Publish Data on behalf of such Entity) that Publishes Data under this
|
|||
|

Agreement prior to Your Receiving it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1.5 “Enhanced Data” means the subset of Data that You Publish and that is composed of
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
individual who is not employed by that Entity or engaged as a contractor or agent to
|
|||
|
|
perform work on that Entity’s behalf. A “Publication” occurs each time You Publish

Data.
