Situation # 1: The individual whose data it is of, wants a copy of
his/her data;

Situation # 2: Researcher publishes a paper whose data, and conclusions,
are completely unexpected, and unpredicted. What license can the raw
data be distributed in, so that third parties can check/verify the data,
but at the same time, protect the identity, and other potentially
damaging things about any specific subject, or group of subjects of the
research?

Tidewater knows where it (the company) wants to go. It simply is unsure
of how to get there.  The first step is determining what "Open Source"
and the Four Freedoms means, in terms of their business solutions.
