Re: ANTs & Data file license in http://slicer.kitware.com/midas3/
Hi Gert,
Thanks for your work on this!
I saw your issue in the ITK bug tracker regarding downloading files
from the internet. I have a big queue, but I'll try to get a patch in
the next week. I have made a cognisant effort so that the ITK
tarballs will not download any files in the default CMake
configuration. However, some non-default options may result in
downloads. I will attempt to make them fail more gracefully with a
new variable as suggested.
I've added in CC the core ANTs developers, Brian, Nick, and Hans, and
a core NA-MIC member, Jc, to the thread. They should know the details
of what files are used and the copyright. Generally, the
ANTS/NA-MIC/ITK communities (their is close collaboration between all)
use liberal data licenses that facilitate reproducibility.
Thanks,
Matt
