Can I use the Superstore dataset commercially?
Yes for internal analysis, teaching and portfolio work, which face no friction under the GPL 2 declaration on the Kaggle page. For distributing the rows inside a product, prefer the commercial delivery terms bravehart101/sample-supermarket-dataset mirror, because whether GPL 2 validly attaches to Tableau-derived sample data is unclear.
Which Superstore copy has the clearest commercial terms?
The bravehart101/sample-supermarket-dataset mirror, recorded as commercial delivery terms: copying, modifying, redistributing and commercializing require no permission and no attribution. Verify its columns before switching - other Superstore variants include Profit, Quantity and Discount fields this version lacks.
