Fair points. I agree the wording could be better.
No, the source code is not available. This dataset is a subset of the raw data our system collects. Our final product made available via the API does a variety of processing steps on the raw data (dedupes, joins, ML predictions, etc). The final, processed data is the piece that is proprietary / subject to the terms.
We will update the site terms to reference this dataset, as we aim to continue releasing an updated version each quarter. I'll have to double check with the lawyers, but it will most likely be MIT licensed.
- slabity 3y agoWhat exactly does "open-source" mean to you? Because it sounds like there's absolutely nothing open about this other than a small scraping of LinkedIn data (which you should probably ask your lawyers if you're even allowed to license out). The wording isn't just misleading, it's a complete lie. EDIT: Nevermind, the title has been updated to accurately reflect this being a small datadump.
