Licence¶

lexsync's source code is released under the MIT licence, which is reproduced below from the LICENSE file that ships with the package. The file is included rather than transcribed, so this page cannot drift from the licence that actually governs the code.

The MIT licence covers the software, meaning the R package and the Python package. It does not cover the lexical corpora, which are third-party data with terms of their own. The bundled corpus derivatives are under CC BY-SA 4.0, and every corpus is cited with its licence and retrieval date. See LICENSE-DATA and corpora/ATTRIBUTION.md in the repository, or the LICENSE.note file that ships inside each package for a reader who has the distribution and not the repository. If you publish materials selected with lexsync, the corpus you drew them from is the thing that needs citing alongside the software.

The MIT License above covers the lexsync source code. The lexical corpora that the package bundles or fetches are NOT covered by it. Three of the data files shipped inside the package, lexsync/data/en_example.csv, es_example.csv and zh_example.csv, are wordfreq derivatives distributed under CC BY-SA 4.0. Their terms are set out in full in LICENSE.note, which ships beside this file. The repository keeps the fuller record, with the retrieval date and checksum of every derived file, at
