The MedKIT release is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 because it is a
derivative of the HemOnc Knowledge Base, which is itself distributed
under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. The ShareAlike clause requires that derivative
works carry the same license; we therefore release MedKIT under
identical terms.

Upstream sources
----------------
This dataset is derived from two third-party data sources, each with
its own license. See ATTRIBUTION.md for required citations and reuse
terms:

  1. HemOnc Knowledge Base (snapshot 2026-03-12), distributed via the
     Harvard Dataverse under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 for academic and
     non-commercial users. The ShareAlike clause is the reason MedKIT
     itself ships under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.

  2. PubMed/MEDLINE abstracts, courtesy of the U.S. National Library
     of Medicine (NLM). Abstracts are reused under the NLM terms of
     use for research purposes; downstream users must comply with NLM
     policy.

Practical implications for users
--------------------------------
- Academic and non-commercial use, including reproduction in research
  papers and code releases, is permitted with attribution.
- Use of MedKIT (in whole or in part, including as training data,
  benchmark inputs, or evaluation harness) for commercial purposes is
  not permitted.
- Any derivative work — for example, a re-batched, augmented, or
  filtered version of MedKIT — must be released under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
- Mixing MedKIT with material under an incompatible license (e.g.,
  proprietary or non-ShareAlike open licenses) for redistribution is
  not permitted.

Redistribution of MedKIT outside the terms above is not authorized by
this LICENSE.
