Hey everyone,  
I was wondering about the licensing of DepMap, especially CCLE. Am I allowed to re-distribute the dataset on another website?  
Best,

The name “CCLE” covers data generated beyond the Broad and I’m not sure I can easily say what the terms for all CCLE data are.

However, what I can offer is that the DepMap data releases are deposited in figshare (ie: [DepMap 23Q4 Public](https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/DepMap_23Q4_Public/24667905) ) and these are labeled with the license [CC BY 4.0 Deed | Attribution 4.0 International | Creative Commons](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

So, yes, you can put the data from those files on another website as long as the data is attributed to the DepMap project. (Figshare provides a doi so you can cite which specific version of the data you are using as well)

Thanks,  
Phil
