Re: website broken?

All I can find is https://www.cancer.gov/ccg/research/genome-sequencing/tcga/using-tcga-data, and it doesn't mention anything about commercial purposes - you may need to contact the CCG program office to get that information.

Thank you! I was specifically looking for a license indicating that TCGA data can be used for commercial purposes without any special license. I don't see that information for Firebrowse. Any pointers?

Hi Anne,

The old gdac site has minimal maintenance, as all the maintainers have left over the years. BITS used to have redirects for those links, but they seem to have gone down. Please use firebrowse.org. Its links should (mostly) work.

Kind regards,

David

Hi,

I was trying to figure out the license situation and the links here seem to all be broken (About, Contact us, etc):

https://gdac.broadinstitute.org/

I came there due to this:

https://github.com/cBioPortal/datahub/issues/1553

And am generally confused about the license situation for TCGA data!
