A forthcoming paper http://hi.cs.waseda.ac.jp/~iizuka/projects/colorization/en/ from researchers at Waseda University of Japan have developed a method for automatic image colorization using deep learning neural network. The results are both impressive and easy to reproduce, as the authors have published their code https://github.com/satoshiiizuka/siggraph2016_colorization to GitHub with a permissive license.
Unfortunately, this is not an open source license, and thus we should not use it. It uses Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0.
Creative Commons consistently recommends against any use of CC licenses for software, and this one in particular is not libre or open source because it has a non-commercial restriction.
