License / redistribution conditions

[DrGFreeman]

I'm working on a Python package that embeds the data tables from this repo and provides a function to dynamically load a table to a dictionary at runtime like in this example:

>>> from fdev_ids import load_table
>>> commodity = load_table("commodity")
>>> commodity[128983059]
{'id': 128983059, 'symbol': 'OnionHeadC', 'category': 'Legal Drugs', 'name': 'Onionhead Gamma Strain'}

I don't see a license file in the repo or any information about redistribution. Are there any conditions that apply to redistributing the data from this repo? Obviously I would include a reference to the repo in the documentation of my package.

Thx.

I see it as free for all, like public domain.

The actual data is derived from E:D, so remains owned by Frontier Developments. They haven't licensed the data separate from the game license, but haven't complained either.

Insofar as any database rights exist in the collation of this data, I suggest EDCD should waive such rights and state that in a LICENSE.md file.

(FYI here's an article on why Create Commons licenses don't include database rights).

Ok, thanks both. I will put a licence for the code and refer to this repo and the game license for the embedded data.

For anyone interested, the package is now published on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/fdev-ids/.
