# Clarified license of test data
|
||||
|
||||
The VTK-m source comes distributed with several data files used for
|
||||
regression testing. Some of these are generated specifically by VTK-m
|
||||
developers and are released as part of the VTK-m license, but some come
|
||||
from external sources. For those that come from external sources, we have
|
||||
clarified the license and attribution of those files. In particular, the
|
||||
following files originate from external sources.
|
||||
|
||||
* **internet.egr**: Distributed as part of a graph data set paper. The
|
||||
license of this data is compatible with VTK-m's license. The file is
|
||||
placed in the third-party data directory and the information has been
|
||||
updated to clearly document the correct license for this data.
|
||||
* **example.vtk** and **example_temp.bov**: Distributed as part of the
|
||||
VisIt tutorials. This data is provided under the VisIt license (per Eric
|
||||
Brugger), which is compatible with VTK-m's license. The files are moved
|
||||
to the third-party data directory and the license and attribution is
|
||||
clarified. (These files were previously named "noise" but were changed to
|
||||
match the VisIt tutorial files they came from.)
|
||||
* **vanc.vtk** Data derived from a digital elevation map of Vancouver that
|
||||
comes from GTOPO30. This data is in the public domain, so it is valid for
|
||||
us to use, modify, and redistribute the data under our license.
|
||||
|
||||
The fishtank and fusion/magField datasets were removed. These are standard
|
||||
flow testing data sets that are commonly distributed. However, we could not
|
||||
track down the original source and license, so to be cautious these data
|
||||
sets have been removed and replaced with some generated in house.
|
||||
|
||||
For some of the other data sets, we have traced down the original author
|
||||
and verified that they propery contribute the data to VTK-m and agree to
|
||||
allow it to be distributed under VTK-m's license. Not counting the most
|
||||
trivial examples, here are the originators of the non-trivial data
|
||||
examples.
|
||||
|
||||
* **5x6_&_MC*.ctm** and **8x9test_HierarchicalAugmentedTree*.dat**: Hamish
|
||||
Carr
|
||||
* **warpXfields.vtk** and **warpXparticles.vtk**: Axel Huebl
|
||||
* **amr_wind_flowfield.vtk**: James Kress
|
||||
* **DoubleGyre*.vtk**: James Kress
|
||||
* **venn250.vtk**: Abhishek Yenpure
|
||||
* **wedge_cells.vtk**: Chris Laganella
|
||||
* **kitchen.vtk**: Copyright owned by Kitware, Inc. (who shares the
|
||||
copyright of VTK-m)
