OK, then I suppose that data for which we do not have the permission to modify will not be accepted in this repository. Would you consider adding a non-free section? For scientific data it would be very useful, because often people do not think of it as a computer program when they define its redistribution rights, which sometimes lead to non-compliance to DFSG.
