Data sources
Every data source ekokrati can build a network from, with the publisher's own terms. The list is printed from the same registry every package's ATTRIBUTION.md is written from, so this page and the file you download cannot say different things about the same licence.
Which sources a particular analysis rests on is stated in that package's own attribution file. This page is the standing list.
