|
| This project compares its own extraction against several other parsers of the |
| same public documents and publishes the disagreement rates. Their rows are |
| NOT included in any release, their licenses do not reach this dataset's |
| output, and their appearance in our documentation is a citation of a |
| measurement, not an attribution obligation. |
| |
| The complete list, with what each contributed and why it is excluded, is in |
| ATTRIBUTION.md. Exclusion is enforced in code by an allowlist |
| (REDISTRIBUTABLE_PROVIDERS in the exporter), not by convention: a release |
| build fails rather than publishing a row from an unlisted upstream. |

| A statutory restriction on use, which no license here waives |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| 5 U.S.C. 13107(c)(1) makes it unlawful to obtain or use a financial |
| disclosure report for any unlawful purpose, for any commercial purpose other |
| than by news and communications media for dissemination to the general |
| public, for establishing an individual's credit rating, or in the |
| solicitation of money. It binds the person obtaining or using the report, it |
| is not a copyright, and it is not ours to waive. See section 5 of |
| LICENSE-DATA. |
