Inconsistency between README and LICENSE #4

Open

Description

@bguil

The LICENCE.txt says "The treebank is licensed under the Creative Commons License Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International."

But in the Machine-readable metadata part of the README.md the value of the field License is PD.

    We think that our UD_Classical_Chinese-Kyoto is under Public-Domain, but Universal Dependencies do not allow such kind of license...

    I suppose you could use CC0 1.0.

    The UD infrastructure works only with the machine-readable metadata in README (and it expects there one of the pre-defined license strings it understands). This is where the license info is taken from for the common UD license document that accompanies the official release. The validator cannot verify that the text in LICENSE.txt matches the license string; that is a responsibility of the data provider/maintainer.
