How this is built
The rows are generated from the site's own registries: the about-this-data entries, the composite dimensions, the data-currency manifest and the data-sources registry kept for the feeds. Nothing here is typed by hand.
Not stated means the repo holds no value for that field. A licence is shown only where the repo states one; the owner of a third-party source sets its own terms. Licences not yet listed are being gathered, and each one is added only with the file that states it.
