Again, as shown here: this license covers *software*, not *data*. Data is fundamentally different from software: for example, there is no "source code" for DE405. There is just no "preferred way to edit" for such a database -- these database are created from observation and not thought to be edited by hand. So, it is just wrong to apply software licenses to databases like DE405. Best Ole
