Q&A 10 What licensing rules apply to institutional use of CDI?

10.1 Explanation

All CDI learning materials — including EDA, VIZ, STATS, and ML layers — are currently published under a permissive open license to encourage wide adoption and adaptation.

Specifically:

• ✅ Content and educational materials are shared under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) license
  
• ✅ Code and notebooks are shared under the MIT License

This means you are free to:

• Use CDI materials in institutional courses
  
• Translate, adapt, and modify the content
  
• Embed in your LMS or learning platform
  
• Share with students, teams, and collaborators

10.1.1 Just include attribution:

• Mention Complex Data Insights (CDI) as the source
  
• Link back to the original guide (e.g., GitHub Pages or repo URL)

✅ Takeaway: CDI is designed to empower educators. You are welcome — and encouraged — to remix and teach with it freely, as long as attribution is provided.
