Hello! I'm packaging rust-statrs in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1993498 and while reviewing it Fabio (in CC) noticed it includes some NIST datasets under data/nist that don't seem to have a clear attribution. You can see them here: https://github.com/statrs-dev/statrs/tree/master/data/nist After some spelunking, I found these come from one of the NIST SRD datasets: https://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/univ/backgroundinfo.html That page doesn't have a clear license either, but more spelunking reveals https://www.nist.gov/open/copyright-fair-use-and-licensing-statements-srd-data-software-and-technical-series-publications#srd which is getting closer. Specifically, I'm pretty sure these fall under the "Standard Reference Data (SRD)" license stated there, which says: --- The Standard Reference Data Act, 15 U.S.C. § 290e, empowers the Secretary of Commerce to secure copyright on behalf of the United States in Standard Reference Data (SRD) prepared by NIST. SRD data products should include the following statement: Copyright protection on this compilation of data has been secured by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce on behalf of the United States in the United States and all countries that are parties to the Universal Copyright Convention, pursuant to Section 290(e) of Title 15 of the United States Code. NIST Standard Reference Data (SRD); ©Copyright [©YEAR] by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce on behalf of the United States of America. All rights reserved. --- To my untrained eye, this looks like a fairly standard copyright attribution thing and should be ok to redistribute and package in Fedora, but I'd like an official blessing as I don't see this license listed on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main . Thanks!
