+Exceptions apply to image files in the frontend/src/assets folder (or subfolders), which may be covered by and therefore distributed under different licenses.
+The individual license for each image can be found in [frontend/src/assets/LICENSES-IMAGES.md](frontend/src/assets/LICENSES-IMAGES.md), it is also possible to link to a publically free available webpage, where the license can be easily read from (this could be the source of an image, for example). Files added to this project may only use this exception if these files serve the only purpose of being displayed and will only be parsed for the purpose of displaying them.
+Another exception to the default licence exists for datasets. Datasets are files that include no new features and just contain different compositions allowed through template classes given in the source code. Datasets must always be in a publically free available human readable formats (for example csv, JSON, txt). Compressed datasets are allowed, but every user of this software must be able to decompress it again into a publically free available human readable format with the help of this software. Datasets licenses must be mentioned in a LICENSES-DATASETS.md file in the respective folder where the dataset is placed (same applies if only one dataset is in the respective folder). All license files must state explicitly which file (or files) they refer to, who the authors are and which license applies (or licenses apply).
+Datasets are not allowed to create any new features or enhance the software in any way, as to create elements that can be part of an export and are importable into this software, with its source code being under the [GNU Affero General Public License](LICENSE.md) as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. Especially, you must not use this exception for source code files.
+All exceptions can be part of another license chosen by the author of these images or datasets.
