Some congressional trade tables may contain rows derived from the following
permissively licensed third-party parsers of the same public documents. Their
notices are reproduced here as their licenses require, and must travel with
copies and substantial portions of those tables.

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.
