Hello Martin!

Thank you for your response. My understanding is that it's not mine or
any other's responsibility if anyone will misuse such a dataset.

The "Rights" are very clear. Do you think putting this small text (or as
a README.txt file?) with the link to EEA's webpage along with the
dataset is not enough?

Thank you for your attention, Nikos
