The data stay with the source

The terms of the GMD do not allow passing the data on outside the study's replication package. A published study does not pass these data on: publishing asks the researcher to confirm the terms, and the study's code loads the data again from the source (get_data.py). A reader who asks the authors for the data is sent to the source.

Terms of use for the data

Free for academic use: research meant for publication, teaching and theses at universities and academic research institutes. Everyone else needs written permission. A study's replication package may include the GMD data it used, labelled as GMD data. The data may not be republished anywhere else.
