Hi,

I'm working on an indexing project for academic resources, and am wondering what license the zip folders at https://www.openacademic.ai/oag/ fall under.

Thanks for your reply!

The site says "a free product for the research community only" but the ODC-BY license states that "These rights explicitly include commercial use, and do not exclude any field of endeavour".

Those two statements appear to contradict each other. Can the OAG be used e.g. in a commercial academic search engine?

Thanks in advance,

Mads

Yes. OAG is released under ODC-BY license and can be used for a commercial academic search engine.

Good evening.

I have a question regarding author ids.

Are they stable across different releases ? Are you planning to maintain them?
