Could our dataset have copyright or other legal restrictions?

Consider any legal, licensing, or privacy constraints that might prevent you from using certain datasets. This also applies to proprietary libraries, tools, or other resources.

If you answered Yes then you are at risk

If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too

Recommendations

  • Consider if you also need to claim ownership or give credits to creators.
  • Think about trademarks, copyrights in databases or training data, patents, license agreements that could be part of the dataset, library or module that you are using.
  • Legal ownership of digital data can sometimes be complex and uncertain so get the proper legal advice here.
