It's not super clear what if any license is offered for code and data, eg from http://distill.pub/2016/misread-tsne/

Ideally code and data would be unambiguously public domain (CC0-1.0) or under appropriate open source and open data licenses.

this is tres bien.

same for data sets?

That would preclude most research data.

If you use Wikipedia as an input, for example, your data is CC-By-SA, not CC-By.
