Without an open source license applied to this repository, the authors retain all copyright to the data, and restrict the options of anyone who wants to use this data. See here for a discussion of how this applies to datasets: https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/63139/public-dataset-without-license-what-is-allowed

You can add a license to the repository by following the instructions here: https://help.github.com/articles/licensing-a-repository/

Are you even allowed to share a dataset like this? I thought you could only share the tweet IDs and a script for the end user to download the actual tweets themselves, like this repo does

• Can you publish tweets as open data?
• Twitter Developer Agreement and Policy

That article's about the limits on the Twitter API usage. These are deleted tweets and therefore not accessed via the API.

@jkoudys ahh of course, I didn't realize that these weren't available via the API
