I know that the publisher of the dataset under dl-de/by-2-0 does NOT allow any compromises or adjustments to the license because it is bound by contracts with third parties (with the German federal states). Thus, the distribution of the above dataset is most likely illegal.

Should I contact the website and ask for a statement?
