Focused curation: (Optional) Setting this flag to true indicates that the licensing was combinatorially complicated enough (as is the case in some commercial licenses) that the curator chose to wear a single "hat" during the process. From the site text: "While we try to cover as much of the licensing possibilities of a data resource that we can, in a few cases we may choose a particular "hat" to wear while evaluating to prevent a combinatorial explosion, which may also reduce the clarity of our curations for the community. In these cases, we may take on the role of a (1) non-commercial (2) academic (3) group that is (4) based in the US and trying to (5) create an aggregating resource, noting that other entities may have different results in the license commentary."; false
Issues: (Optional) Structured issues with the license.

Any issues or thoughts about a resource that do not slot into one of the criteria violations can go into the license-commentary field.; Criteria A.2.2: Copyright statement includes 'This publication may be copied for non-commercial, scientific uses by individuals or organizations (including for-profit organizations).
