So people are pretty down on the licensing for this. I agree it is less than ideal, and most certainly isn't open source.
But it is a tremendous step forward. Previously this type of data was extremely hard to find, and even if you had budget it was a long, slow process finding someone who would sell you something to test hypothesis about what models could work.
With this you can work on building models that work, demo them as much as you like, and find a source that lets you train for commercial outcomes. That's very useful. Less useful than properly open data, but useful none-the-less.
