Are the free of charge datasets usable by the co-op?

I thought I read they were for non-commercial users only and these
samples only seem to say they're "for research purposes" so I'm not
sure if they are safe for co-operative workers to touch.

Why didn't BL just use CC0 like some others recently?  It would avoid
this mess.
