this error is explained in the README at the top of the Notebook.. It is slightly confusing, but this is the same way the Notebook was shipped in the last release.

The reason for this is two parts: OSGeo-Live disk space constraints make adding sample data challenging; and, OSGeo-Live reading of the license on the Rasterio sample code shows permission to use, but OSGeo never asked for additional permissions for sample data.
