Hi Om, I am not able to follow your logic. I think I've read your full email and have looked at the links. It appears you are trying to say that the data points we are using came from [1], but to me, [1] seems clearly under GNU Document and CC-BY-SA. The act of removing the state names from the data in [2] made it a derivative work, and it appears that the author of [1] says that work is not under Public Domain.
If the data points we are using are the same as in [2], then we should say that our example is based on a subset of [2] not [1]. Is that the case? If I download [2], will I see the same data points as in our example?
