@nuest:

Related to licensing: It would be great if the "data" published on Open Grants would be clearly licensed as well, e.g. PDDL ? Or CC0? Should be covered by a statement in the README and in the footer of each page. The MIT license used for the repository is not suitable for a dataset.

@dhimmel:

Yeah the releasing the opengrants dataset under CC0 would be good. You could continue having the MIT license apply to everything in the repo, and then specify specific data files to also license as CC0.
