# 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 below.

As more third-party assets are added to the site, they should be listed here with their
source, author and license details.

standing in for stimulus material, or illustrative artwork for datasets without stimulus
cover art). Each dataset page links back to its image's entry below from the credit line
under its gallery tile.
