world-adm0's 162 licences are established, and 65 are share-alike
upg100-plugin ran the per-country fetch (304a4c120): 162 queries against the
geoBoundaries endpoint, values recorded verbatim, 0 failures, one spot-check
re-verified live. 130 of 162 countries carry a duty; only 32 are duty-free.
ATTRIBUTION now says the world-adm0 duties are DISCHARGEABLE and points at the
single authority for them -- their PROVENANCE.json -- rather than copying the
table, because one table in two places drifts. Their words.
★ THE DUTIES ARE RECORDED AS CLASSES, NOT AS ONE THING. They separated the 7
explicit ShareAlike countries because share-alike is a stronger duty than
attribution, which is right; by the same reasoning the class holds 65, because
Open Data Commons ODbL 1.0 also requires a derivative database to be offered
under ODbL. 58 ODbL + 7 CC-SA. This repository already acted on that reading:
Natural Earth's 1:10m roads were deliberately not shipped over an ODbL
obligation. Whether "licensed alike" binds a giveaway is a legal question, not
a measurement, and it is recorded as open rather than resolved here.
The CCK line is gone. It read as an outstanding gap; CCK is absent from
world-adm0 entirely, so that 404 was a fetch for a country that never shipped.

licence MIXED, AND NOT YET RECORDED PER COUNTRY.
|
||||
gbOpen passes each country's UPSTREAM licence through, so this one file carries up to 162
|
||||
different licences and therefore up to 162 separate attribution duties. The collection's own
|
||||
provenance record (the plugin's data/adm0/PROVENANCE.json) states that principle but its
|
||||
licences table is EMPTY, so which of the 162 are Creative Commons and which are public domain
|
||||
is not established here. Establishing it means querying the endpoint above once per country.
|
||||
UNTIL THEN, TREAT THIS FILE AS CARRYING ATTRIBUTION DUTIES THAT ARE NOT YET DISCHARGED.
|
||||
One known gap in that record: CCK (Cocos Islands) returned HTTP 404 for its metadata.

licence MIXED — and now ESTABLISHED per country, not merely acknowledged.
|

THE PER-COUNTRY TABLE IS THE AUTHORITY, and it lives in ONE place on purpose:
|
||||
plugin-designs/my-upg-100-list/data/adm0/PROVENANCE.json
|
||||
It records boundaryLicense, licenseSource and boundaryID for all 162, each value taken
|
||||
verbatim from https://www.geoboundaries.org/api/current/gbOpen/<ISO3>/<LEVEL>/ (162 queries,
|
||||
0 failures, one spot-check re-verified against the live API). This file deliberately does NOT
|
||||
copy that table: one table in two places drifts.
|
||||
|

130 OF THE 162 CARRY A DUTY. Only 32 are duty-free (28 Public Domain, 4 CC0). By class:

SHARE-ALIKE CLASS — A STRONGER DUTY: a derivative may have to be licensed alike, which is
|

the class that actually constrains giving this repository away.

7 Creative Commons ShareAlike 2.0 / 3.0 — AGO GAB GEO GIN MMR NER TUR
|
||||
|
||||
ODbL IS LISTED IN THAT CLASS DELIBERATELY. Alongside attribution it requires a Derivative
|
||||
Database to be offered under ODbL and carries a keep-open provision, so by volume the
|
||||
share-alike question covers 65 of 162 countries, not 7. This repository has already acted on
|
||||
that reading once: library/scripts/posters/data/README.md records that Natural Earth's 1:10m
|
||||
ROADS were requested and deliberately NOT shipped because of an ODbL obligation.
|
||||
WHETHER 'licensed alike' binds a giveaway of this repository is a legal question, not a
|
||||
measurement, and it is open. It is recorded here so nobody has to rediscover it.
