Backup nitestdata on public, scientific repo

[dfsp-spirit]

The extra data one can download with freesurferformats::download_opt_data() is hosted on my private server (in a professional data center, reachable via the rcmd.org domain).

This is fine with me, but we should create a backup of all the files and make it available on some public, scientific data repository like Zenodo.

It would be idea if the data was not in a zip, but as single files which can be directly linked to (so we can actually pull from there in fsbrain), but a zip archive as a pure backup of the data would be better than nothing, I guess.

This would mean that issues or changes on my server cannot affect fsbrain, and that future maintainers or contributors do not need access to my server to upload additional test data.

I have uploaded the full nitestdata folder to Zenodo, login with my ORCID ID.

Due to the mixed licenses, I could not make it public, because at Zenodo they require that all files in one download share the same license. So this is currently only a backup (that only I can access).

A solution would be to create at lest 3 separate uploads, one with the files under the FreeSurfer license (fsaverage templates), one with my files (whatever, e.g., MIT) and one for the demo files for other projects (e.g., NIFTI file format demo files).

For some of the latter, even though they are available on the website explicitly to be used for testing NIFTI implementations, I was not able to find any license information though, making this quite annoying.

We could pull directly from the NIFTI websites for these files every time in fsbrain, but I am not sure whether they appreciate this use case.
