Open source license and forking

[lefterav]

Hey folks, I hope you are doing well after these relatively weird times. I am working on a report that summarizes last year's achievements related to open mobility. The report will be submitted to our funding agency who enabled us to co-organize the Climathon mobility challenge. I would therefore very much like to mention your Climathon hack as the winning one.

I also noticed that you haven't assigned an open source license to the project. Would it be possible to include one, since that was one of the objectives of the Climathon challenge? Finally, since there is no license, I need to ask you if it is ok to fork the code to the repository of the Open Source Lab. Please let me know if there is anything that speaks against that.

Hi Elefterios, since the data we used wasn't necessarily open-sourced or even had a license, we didn't feel comfortable to assign a new license to it. Since you aren't using it for commercial purposes and the data was lent to us in an event of working for our society, I'm sure no one would argue against forking, so please, go ahead :) I'd like to ask you if you could send us the finished report, I'm sure it will be a nice read.
