The researcher got in contact with the data provider asking
"We have had a paper accepted for publication and would like to include the code lists for medical diagnoses and products in the university's research data repository. There is also an extra file of aggregated count data and disease frequency figures that the journal would prefer that we publish rather than them. I'm enclosing the files that we would propose to include. Could you confirm whether this is allowable? Our Research Data team have asked that I check the following with you and specifically at what level these can be shared:..."
The data provider responded and said:
“... I've confirmed the following with our Contracts team:
 You can publish aggregate statistics for the purposes of disseminating the findings of your RDG-approved study, subject to the same rules for publishing study results.
If the code lists have been developed by you for the purposes of an RDG-approved study, and provided they don't contain any CPRD data, you can publish the code lists as you see fit as you own the intellectual property rights on any methods/algorithms you develop.”

The decision on how to display the files was made as follows: 
Given what the data provider wrote and as the data file above replicated material in the supplementary files within the associated article it seemed preferable to apply the same license as that which is attached to the article for consistency purposes. The same has been added to the code.
