Hi, Concerning this point, I would like to ask about BabelNet [1].The advantages of [1] is that it integrates WordNet, Wikipedia, Wiktionary, OmegaWiki, Wikidata, and Open Multi-WordNet. Also, the newest SemEval task (which results are just out [2]) relies on it.
Howeover, the 2.5.1 version, which can be used locally, follows a CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 license [3].I read in [4] that CC-A (Attribution) licenses are acceptable, however I am not completely sure if the NC-SA (Non-commercial/ShareAlike) terms would be prohibitive since it was mentioned that : "Many of these licenses have specific attribution terms that need to be adhered to, for example CC-A, often by adding them to the NOTICE file. Ensure you are doing this when including these works. Note, this list is colloquially known as the Category A list." Would like your thoughts on the matter. Thanks !
