### Important Legal Considerations

⚠️ **WARNING**: This dataset contains repositories with diverse and often unknown licensing terms.

2. **SPDX Compliance**: License metadata follows SPDX standards where available
3. **Mixed Licensing**: Individual repositories may have different license requirements
4. **Commercial Risk**: Use in commercial products requires individual license verification for each repository
5. **Attribution Preservation**: Original repository attribution is preserved in metadata
6. **Research Value**: Even "Unknown" licenses are properly recorded in repository metadata for license detection research

### Liability and Disclaimers

- **No Guarantee**: We do not guarantee the accuracy of license information
- **User Responsibility**: Users are responsible for verifying licensing compliance
- **Takedown Policy**: We honor DMCA and removal requests promptly

### Recommended Usage

1. **Research Only**: Use for academic and research purposes
2. **License Scanning**: Always scan extracted code for licensing requirements
