# License

## Data license

Five of the six CNeuroMod subjects (`sub-01`, `sub-02`, `sub-03`, `sub-05` and `sub-06`)
have chosen to openly share their data. This data is distributed under a
[CC0 license](https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/) — it is
dedicated to the public domain and may be reused, including for commercial purposes,
without asking permission.

Data from `sub-04` is **not openly licensed**. It remains available to researchers, but
only through a signed inter-institutional Data Transfer Agreement (DTA) — see
[Access](access) for the request process.

Copyrighted stimuli used in some experimental paradigms (e.g. movies, video games,
audiobooks) are an exception to CC0: the data recorded *from* participants remains CC0,
but the third-party stimulus material itself remains under its original copyright. See
the README of each dataset for stimulus-specific details.

The `floc` dataset's face/place/object localizer images are tracked from the
[VPNL/fLoc](https://github.com/VPNL/fLoc) stimulus set, which does not itself carry a
license. Their reuse terms are therefore currently unclear; an issue has been opened
upstream to clarify licensing, and this page will be updated once that is resolved.

## Third-party assets used under fair use or other licenses

The documentation site itself also carries a small number of third-party assets that are
not CNeuroMod data and are not covered by the CC0 grant above. Each is used under its own
license or a fair-use rationale, tracked individually. The detailed list of licenses and
credits will be published on this page.

### Dataset gallery artwork

The cover images on the [landing-page dataset gallery](../index) (e.g. movie/book covers
standing in for stimulus material, or illustrative artwork for datasets without stimulus
cover art). The per-image license details are being verified and will be listed here
once published.
