About this dataset
Mauritius (MU) — internal licensing notes
Status: LIVE, published free (unresolved licence, disclosed) — 2026-08-27.
Product identity
Source scraper: countries/MUS/scripts/parse_ma.py in
fedex-agents-prototype, live-scraped from mus.youbianku.com (11 districts,
1,590 postal codes). Regenerated fresh on 2026-08-27 and confirmed
byte-for-byte identical to the previously committed FedEx-schema CSV — the
source and scraper are both still live and stable.
The provenance gap
mus.youbianku.com is run by Wuhan Duoku Science & Technology Co.
(youbianku.com, operating since 1998). Its "About" and "General Disclaimer"
pages were fetched and read directly — both are thin stub pages. Neither
page, nor anywhere else on the site, states a licence, states redistribution
terms, cites an upstream data source, or prohibits scraping/commercial reuse.
This is a genuine absence of information, not a confirmed grant. Per this
project's rule, absence of a stated licence must not be assumed compatible —
licence_status.decision is "unresolved", same bucket as VN and SN.
Separately: the underlying place names (villages, towns, district names) are themselves unremarkable geographic facts that would not be independently copyrightable regardless of provenance — the open question here is narrower than for VN/SN: it's about the postal-code-to-locality mapping itself as compiled/published by youbianku, not about the place names.
Decision
Same reasoning as VN and SN (2026-08-25): sell into an unresolved licence gap
monetizes the ambiguity; publishing free instead keeps the same open legal
question but removes the stakes. MU ships free —
data_available: true, no is_premium / premium_tier.
What shipped (2026-08-27)
mu.csv(1,590 rows, 0 duplicates, 0 no-code rows) built viadatasets/mu/scripts/build_postal_codes_product.pyfromcountries/MUS/data/Mauritius.csv.licence_status.decision: "unresolved", disclosed in bothdata/ATTRIBUTION.txtanddata/README.md, with a "contact us before relying on this under a licence that requires a confirmed redistribution grant" line, matching the VN/SN pattern.- No coordinates — the FedEx source has none.
- Published to R2 (
mu/mu.csv,mu/datapackage.json,mu/README.md,mu/ATTRIBUTION.txt,mu/mu.zip) and round-trip verified._meta/catalog.jsonupdated for theMUentry only. datasets/mu/README.mdanddatapackage.ymlupdated todata_available: true(no longer the placeholder "no data available" state).
Not done here: no contact made with youbianku.com or Wuhan Duoku Science & Technology about the underlying data's provenance. This publish does not resolve the licence question — it makes an informed decision to sell into that gap for free, disclosed, rather than wait on it indefinitely.
