Attribution and licensing
SC-WBD is built on 42 publicly released atlases, receptor
maps and neuroimaging datasets. Several attach conditions — attribution,
non-commercial use, share-alike — and those conditions propagate into anything
derived from them.1Generated by
site/gen_attribution.py, which enumerates every card in
scwbd/sources/cards/ and every entry in
scwbd/anatomy/sources.py and renders them through the same
scwbd.sources.attribution module the release path uses. Regenerate
with make site-attribution. Licence is split into
inheritance, what the sources impose, and policy, what the
owner chose; the two are never summed into one boolean, because only the second
is the owner's to revoke — see scwbd/release/licence.py.
The effective licence is the union over every source the repository holds,
including sources no default code path loads — and there
unknown is not permissive, so a source naming no terms is
carried unresolved rather than rounded down to fine.2The full computed
string is non-commercial: yes; share-alike: yes; attribution: required; redistribution: none; SHARE-ALIKE IN FORCE: derivative works must be released under the same licence; 27 source(s) with UNKNOWN licence (adni, ds000113, hcp-young-adult, mne-sample, mne-spm-face, ram-intracranial, things-eeg2, tuh-eeg, ukbiobank-brain-imaging, buckner2011, conte69, desikan2006, destrieux2010, enigma_hcp_sc, fsaverage, glasser2016, goulas_autoradiography, hcps1200_maps, hill2010, julich_brain, margulies2016, markov2014, netneuro_lausanne_sc, neuromaps, raichle_metabolism, schaefer2018, sydnor2021) — unknown is not permissive.3is_vacuous_licence_text exists because a registry entry
once read “See repository LICENSE (open, academic use)” for an atlas whose actual
licence imposes no academic-use limit at all — an invented restriction, since
corrected. The classifier now refuses to resolve text that names no terms. The
Hansen receptor maps are CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0, non-commercial
and share-alike, and where those terms attach a derivative must carry
them too.4Two questions have to be kept apart or the answer misreports:
does the object contain Hansen data, and does the
default prior read it? Those have different answers today; the audit
is reports/licence_audit.md. The Tian subcortical atlas is
unrestricted subject to one condition — that any publication using it cites Tian
et al. (2020) — which the table below is how we meet.5Verified
against the vendored licence text at
assets/src/tian_subcortex/license.txt, not against the registry's
summary of it. Schaefer 2018 labels are MIT, but the Genomics
Superstruct Project data underneath is released “under its own terms” and those
terms are not named, so the classifier resolves it to unknown rather than to MIT.
Whether a model trained on CC-BY-NC-SA data is itself a derivative of that data
is recorded as unsettled -- no answer asserted
and deliberately not answered here; the conservative reading,
assume it is, is the one that fails safe.scwbd/release/manifest.py And
several datasets carry redistribution_class: none — HCP Young Adult,
ADNI, UK Biobank, TUH-EEG among them — so this site hosts no copy of any
source and links to no derived data, with access going through each
provider's own agreement.
The repository itself is released under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, matching the most restrictive term inherited from the atlas inputs.
