+ * The data cannot be used, e.g. because of a proprietary license restriction
8
+ * The data can be used with or without some restriction. For example, if the source dataset is licensed under the creative commons open source license [CC BY-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/), it requires redistribution to "ShareAlike". Or, the authors require signing a specific usage license, for example, the Rocklin lab requires registering the use of the MegaScale dataset so they can demonstrate impact to maintain grant support.
