This repo isn't software code, so code checks are limited.
Caution
Caution: one person wrote most of the recent commits.
Why
- One person wrote 100% of human commits in the last year, so the project depends on them continuing. The repository holds mostly documentation, data or model files, so inactivity matters less than for a code library. (source 1, source 2)
- GitHub found no license file, so the content is not clearly licensed for reuse. (source 1)
What would change this
- A second person takes a substantial share of commits.
- A license file is added.
