================================================================================

The file namenet.jsonl in this directory is a mechanical, ConceptNet-shape
conversion of three human-reviewed linking tables (species, taxon-to-common-
name, occupations) from the Open English Namenet project. It is licensed

License status of the source repository — read this before redistributing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The source repository, globalwordnet/english-namenet, declares NO explicit
license of its own: no LICENSE file in the checkout, no license statement in
its README.md, and GitHub's own repository metadata reports `license: null`
(confirmed 2026-07-12). CC-BY-4.0 above is a CONSERVATIVE CHOICE by this
repository, matching the license of the Open English WordNet data the source
CSVs link against (see Attribution below) — it is not a license the
globalwordnet/english-namenet maintainers have themselves stated. Anyone
redistributing namenet.jsonl more widely than this repository should seek
explicit confirmation from the GlobalWordNet team before relying on that
label.

Attribution
-----------

This work includes data derived from the Open English Namenet project (an
extension of Open English WordNet with names drawn from Wikidata), and
transitively from Open English WordNet itself (CC-BY-4.0) and Wikidata
(structured data, CC0).

Source
------

- Dataset: three reviewed CSVs from a LOCAL, uncommitted checkout of
  globalwordnet/english-namenet — never vendored into this repository:
    - species_reviewed.csv (5,101 rows)
    - taxon2common_reviewed.csv (2,368 rows)
    - linked_occupations_reviewed.csv (2,193 rows)
  Every accepted row in all three links a name/label to an Open English
  WordNet synset or lemma set that a human reviewer confirmed denotes the
  SAME real-world thing (a species, a folk-taxonomic category, an
  occupation) — never a broader/narrower or capability relation. See
  corpus/namenet/generate.mjs's own header comment for the full reasoning
  behind mapping every row to /r/Synonym, and the exact accept/skip rules
  per source file.
- species_reviewed.csv also required cross-referencing a SECOND local
  checkout, globalwordnet/english-wordnet's `src/yaml/` synset source (the
  same one corpus/wordnet/generate.mjs reads), to resolve each row's SSID
  into a representative lemma — that CSV alone carries no lemma text.

Share-alike
-----------

CC-BY-4.0 does NOT require share-alike (unlike ConceptNet's CC-BY-SA 4.0 in
corpus/conceptnet/) — a CC-BY-4.0 derivative may be relicensed, provided
attribution is preserved. This repository chooses to keep redistributing
namenet.jsonl itself under CC-BY-4.0 regardless, to stay unambiguous about
its origin, subject to the license-status caveat above. The code in this
directory (generate.mjs) is tmct code under the repository's MPL-2.0; only
the data file (namenet.jsonl) carries the CC-BY-4.0 label.
