Data License #4

Description

Hello!

The only license I currently see associated with the data under the API is the Apache license for the API access code. The OpenMindat paper suggests, however, that "We are creating a forked copy of the CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 licence tailored specifically for these needs.". Is a copy of that license* available anywhere.

An AUP with any quota and rate guidelines would also be helpful.

*As a side note, I really do hope this licensing policy is reconsidered. It adds significant friction and limits the openness of the data significantly (see, e.g. https://ben.balter.com/2016/08/01/why-you-shouldnt-write-your-own-open-source-license/ and http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=4559).
