movielens 1M example
Hi there,
with committing MAHOUT-542, I'd like to add a shell-script to our
examples that downloads the Movielens 1M dataset and factorizes it. Are
there any legal issues I have to consider?

I totally agree with you on that then, I'll change the script.
Thanks!

There are other datasets on Infochimps and Factual which are freely
downloadable.

I've asked them in the past as well if it could be scripted in the past and the answer was no.

I've asked them in the past as well if it could be scripted in the past and the answer was no.

I might err on the side of not doing so. I know from talking to the
GroupLens guys a while ago, they (rightly) don't want the data
redistributed freely as they have certain obligations to notify users
of terms and such. A shell script may or may not be against the letter
of the license, but seems against the spirit of it. I have to date
simply directed users to download the file and put it in a certain
place. Yes it's more work, but I think the authors want that extra
work to be done, to acknowledge the data's source and terms.
