[Bioc-devel] [EXTERNAL] Deeptarget package

Dear Nguyen,

Thank you for your response.

I am just a bit puzzled, and no other developer has answered so far.

E.g. in the description of the depmap package it says:

"This data is distributed under the Creative Commons license (Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0))."

Anyhow if you visit the original source database it comes with the Terms and conditions that one need to agree and it says specifically:

"Governing Law
The terms and conditions herein shall be construed, governed, interpreted, and applied in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, U.S.A. Furthermore, by accessing, downloading, or using the Database, You consent to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and federal courts within Massachusetts with respect to Your download or use of the Database."

So if it comes to law, it does not matter, that you just use a subset of the original data or that you just get it from another source, since the statement is kind of very clear.

I do not see any kind of agreement in the depmap package nor a "warning" statement, like "by using this package you agree on the following terms ?"

So how to deal correctly (legally and code-wise) in this situation?

Best regards
