About this dataset
Netherlands (NL) — internal licensing notes
Not mentioned in datahub-next#941 — no known licensing flag on this
country. Source: converted from a FedEx-schema delivery
(Netherlands_Delivery/Netherlands.csv, 467,630 rows) whose own base source
is CC0 1.0 (public domain, no attribution needed). Two rows backfilled from
the CBS woonplaatsen reference (CC-BY 4.0) would have dragged the whole file
into an attribution obligation — those two rows are exactly the two asserting
postalCode "00000" (no postal code), which don't belong in the
postal-codes product anyway. Dropping them is correct on product grounds
and keeps the published dataset cleanly CC0.
Session finding, 2026-08-19
Fixed nl/scripts/convert_from_fedex.py and siblings from hardcoded
other-repo paths to self-contained. Confirmed the FedEx source file is real
(45MB, not a stub) and re-ran the conversion against a fresh copy: 467,628
rows (2 dropped per above), byte-identical (MD5 match) to both the
pre-existing local copy and live R2. Also confirmed the stale
_meta/catalog.json entry for NL (which references a nonexistent
nl-full.csv and claims 4,334 rows — off by two orders of magnitude from
the real 467,628) is an index-only defect, not a data problem — this pipeline
and the live nl.csv are both fine, only the storefront catalogue index
needs a refresh.
No further licensing review — this was a code-reproducibility audit.
