The share-alike provisions further our Affero objectives and strengthen communal protections for core data on top of database infrastructure. Great work there, let's just get it renamed into a separate file to prevent conflicts, something like LICENSE-data? Also, it would be stellar if you might change the copyright notices here and in LICENSE to be Copyright (c) WhyDRS Members or equivalent to attribute explicitly to the DAO.

@JamesAlfonse Stellar work getting everything merged together and relentlessly improving the Database! After further diligence, I segmented the underlying service code under AGPL from the raw source data under ODbL. How does this dual approach work for you?

LGTM!
Great job adding details surrounding the licenses and instructions on how to contribute to the repository. Much more welcoming for visitors who are unfamiliar with Github but determined to help with the project. @JFWooten4
