It’s good to see this data available under Creative Commons Attribution license. However the license on the AEC download page doesn’t mention this particular license. The wording seems more restrictive, so I’m confused. Is the data actually licensed as CC-BY 2.5?
Perhaps the AEC could mention CC-BY 2.5 on their website.
We have confirmed with AEC that the license on their page is correct and this dataset is not currently available under Creative Commons. They are currently working on changing to CC and we will alert users when this has changed.
