Open-TYNDP is a research and innovation project created by Open Energy Transition (OET). It is an open-source soft-fork of PyPSA-Eur, extended with custom source code, documentation, data and configuration.

The licensing of the Open-TYNDP project follows a similar approach to PyPSA-Eur and is released under multiple licenses:

  • Modified source code is licensed as free software under MIT with attribution to OET and its authors.

  • Modifications to the original documentation are licensed under CC-BY-4.0 with attribution to OET and its authors.

  • Modifications to the original configuration files are licensed under CC0-1.0 with attribution to OET and its authors.

  • Additional data sources are the TYNDP 2024 Scenarios that are licensed under CC-BY-4.0 by ENTSO-E and ENTSOG (see TYNDP 2024 data).

The original PyPSA-Eur model is released under multiple licenses:

  • All original source code is licensed as free software under MIT.

  • The documentation is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

  • Configuration files are mostly licensed under CC0-1.0.

  • Data files are licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

For easier licensing, the Open-TYNDP and PyPSA-Eur repositories use REUSE by the FSFE. You can find the specific licenses for each file in their SPDX identifiers or in the REUSE.toml file.

Additionally, different licenses and terms of use also apply to the various input data that are not part of the repository (see Data Sources).
