# Source and licence notes

This file records the source and distribution status for each external data
group. It is intentionally conservative: where a provider does not state a
redistribution licence in the accession record, the provider's access and
reuse terms govern.

The repository-level metadata is therefore `license: other`; it is not a
blanket Apache-2.0 licence for source-derived files. The PertResolve authors'
benchmark annotations and provenance text remain attributable to this release.
