------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What this license does and does NOT cover
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This project adds value to public open data by cleaning, normalizing, and
documenting it. The CC BY 4.0 license above covers ONLY that added value.

The UNDERLYING RAW DATA is public record obtained from third-party open-data
portals (Louisville Metro / LOJIC Open Data on ArcGIS Hub, and others as cities
are added). That raw data is provided by its sources "as is," and its own terms
of use are set by those sources, not by this project. Per-layer source terms are
UNVERIFIED in this repository (see each domain's "License / terms" line in the
generated data dictionary).

Before republishing a specific source dataset externally, confirm that layer's
terms of use on its portal item page and attribute the original source
(e.g. "Louisville Metro / LOJIC Open Data"). Treat commercial redistribution
rights on the underlying raw data as unconfirmed until checked.
