The India ADM1 boundary is Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 2.5 IN, sourced from DataMeet and the Election Commission of India), so the credit has to reach whoever receives the data. It did not: 6.1 MB of boundary GeoJSON shipped with no human-readable attribution, and a sidecar for one file of eight. data/boundaries/ATTRIBUTION now ships beside the data. Every licence value in it is verbatim from the geoBoundaries API, queried per boundary -- CC BY 2.5 IN for India, Public Domain for China. No licence wording is ours. ★ IT TOOK TWO ALLOWLIST EDITS, and the first one silently did nothing. The boundary staging is TWO-STAGE: a pair list gathers into the build pool, and a separate path list decides what reaches the tree. I added the file to the pair list, rebuilt, and it still did not ship. An entry in one stage of a two-stage pipeline is not an entry. WORLD-ADM0 IS CORRECTED, not closed. This register first guessed Natural Earth, public domain. It is geoBoundaries gbOpen assembled per country: its features carry geoBoundaries' own iso3/shapeGroup/shapeName, and the plugin's data/adm0/PROVENANCE.json names the source and endpoint. That file also states the real problem -- gbOpen passes each country's UPSTREAM licence through, so one file carries up to 162 licences and up to 162 attribution duties -- and its licences table is EMPTY. Which of the 162 are CC BY is unestablished. Stated in ATTRIBUTION as an undischarged duty rather than papered over. pplr's row is exp-shepherd's evidence: the PPLR ArcGIS org aggregating IMB, Joshua Project, ROP and WCD identifiers, publishing no licence at all, and WCD is a proprietary Brill database.

BOUNDARY DATA — SOURCES AND ATTRIBUTION
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
The .geojson files in this folder are third-party boundary data. Every value below is taken
|
|
VERBATIM from the upstream metadata (the geoBoundaries API, https://www.geoboundaries.org/api/current/gbOpen/<ISO3>/<LEVEL>/).
|
|
Nothing here is our own wording about a licence.

ATTRIBUTION IS REQUIRED for this file: it is Creative Commons Attribution, so a work that
|
|
redistributes or displays it must credit the source above.
|
|
|
|
gb-IND-ADM1.geojson, gb-IND-ADM1-web.geojson
|
|
The same India ADM1 boundary as above, curated to the UPG-100 list's partition.
|
|
Same source, same boundaryID, same licence, same attribution duty.

source geoBoundaries gbOpen (www.geoboundaries.org), assembled per country
|
|
features 162 countries
|
|
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.
