+ Hi Stuart,
+ .
+ As far as we are concerned at the GeoDa Center, you're welcome to use
+ our sample data at http://geodacenter.asu.edu/sdata for all of the
+ purposes you mention, including sharing them with others, uploading
+ them on your local server for your students, listing them on your
+ personal website, simplifying the data, improving it, or other
+ educational uses. We appreciate listing the credit.
+ .
+ Our primary purpose for making the data available is for our tutorials
+ and software use. If you or others find them useful for other
+ purposes, please go ahead. Several of the sample datasets include ESRI
+ shapefiles and a lot of them are based on US Census data - we're not
+ sure what the legal restrictions are in this case but I can tell you
+ that as far as the GeoDa Center is concerned, anyone who wants to use,
+ add value, make available or any other use they see for our sample
+ data for non-commercial purposes is welcome to it.
+ .
+ Enjoy.
+ Julia
