I have used the Sioux Falls data for a research project, and I am not clear about the license.
Can I download the Sioux Falls data, modify it locally to perform research. Then publish the paper, with a citation to "Transportation Networks for Research Core Team. Transportation Networks for Research. https://github.com/bstabler/TransportationNetworks. Accessed Month, Day, Year." and make the modified data available online?

Also, is it possible to attach an Open Source license to this repo?

Thank you a lot!

Yes, you can modify the data for your research. I would suggest citing this repo for the initial data and then storing your modified data online in your own resource (such as a GitHub repo).

Our license is here. Do you have a suggestion for a better license? Thanks.

Thank you for your answer Ben.

For the license, what about an MIT license in a independent license file so GitHub can recognize it? Or a open data license like the ODbL v1.0?

For the data, the data I am using is just a modification of the format of the Sioux Falls data in a CSV store in a drive. Would that make more sense to just do a PR in the Sioux Falls folder to add this data? Also this will answer the question about the license.

Thank you a lot again!

Here is my commit on a fork https://github.com/TheoCabannes/TransportationNetworks/commit/1514507df1f385253063c24d5d280ef90e0919b9. Let me know if it would make sense for me to do a pull request from it.

@TheoCabannes - sure, go ahead and PR a CSV version as well. Thanks.
