GeoNames: postal allCountries.zip snapshot acquired 13 October 2026 15:38:24 UTC, SHA-256 983d9f56ad43ee198baa49d86c5e3201e4751cad7f968ecef9ccb5604859104d; country subsets and checking gazetteers/admin tables as recorded in acquisition_manifest.json.
Data by GeoNames https://www.geonames.org/ under CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ . Postal README: https://download.geonames.org/export/zip/readme.txt . It declares BY 4.0 while retaining a stale BY 3.0 hyperlink; the gazetteer README separately declares BY 4.0.
Modifications: preserve supported existing codes and scoped IDs; render unanimous names/estimates/admin links; clear ambiguous fields; reserve queued IDs in research only; no new codes, point averaging or city-point fallback. Checking gazetteer points/parents and the INPOSDOM official lookup JSON https://inposdom.gob.do/codigo-postal/json/data.json (1,403 checking rows; no applicable open distribution grant established) are never substituted as positive values. Official scripts were read as text only to locate the inert JSON; they were not executed.
Chunghwa Post: official dataset 25489 https://data.gov.tw/dataset/25489 , XML administrative district names, three-digit codes and administrative-centre coordinates; Open Government Data License Taiwan 1.0 https://data.gov.tw/license . Dataset 37759 https://data.gov.tw/dataset/37759 / TOWN_MOI.kml is a checking bilingual district/county identity bridge under the same declared licence. Retrieved 14 October 2026; actual receipts and archive hashes supplied.
Modifications: exact code/Chinese district join plus a supported English district/county bridge; preserve three-digit scope; XML names and centres; no six-digit expansion, invented translation or old mirror-field copying. No source endorsement.
Ordnance Survey Code-Point Open: official CSV archive, HTTP Last-Modified 5 August 2026; CSV member dates 3 August 2026; acquired 14 October 2026. Official product https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/products/code-point-open and official download API receipt in downloads/GB_official.zip.receipt.json . Open Government Licence 3.0 https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ .
Contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database right 2026.
Contains Royal Mail data © Royal Mail copyright and database right 2026.
Contains National Statistics data © Crown copyright and database right 2026.
Modifications: count existing Great Britain area prefixes from all full-unit CSV rows; do not add units, generate an area centroid or reuse a city/county label. Code-Point Open is Great Britain scope; no Northern Ireland or Crown-dependency rescue is inferred.
OpenStreetMap: © OpenStreetMap contributors, https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright , ODbL 1.0 https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1-0/ . The bounded Overpass response snapshots and country-boundary relation versions/timestamps are in each receipt/screen; there is no common atomic worldwide edition.
Modifications: validate literal full-code formats and complete object geometry in an assembled valid country polygon, reject contrary country tags, retain only supported legacy identities, unanimous city/place labels, and medians from at least two distinct numbered address signatures >=10m apart with <=1km conservative spread. No single-address point or guessed administrative/city join. No routing guarantee.
Unapplied candidates: PY official DINACOPA register metadata links a public-information licence, but direct table and licence-body acquisition failed; KH ODC declares CC BY-SA and the government portal has general use terms, without an established redistribution basis for the target ODbL distribution. No fields from those tables, the MM GPL repository, the coarser MM five-digit ODC table or old mirrors are proposed for copying. CSC's own licence is unchanged.
