Licences and credit
Free to access does not always mean free to republish. Each source has a record of what we may show, offer for download and derive, and the credit it needs; that credit travels with every chart and CSV.
Where a source does not allow redistribution, or its terms have not yet been confirmed, its pages show the figures without a download and say so.
When a source is late or fails
If a fetch fails its checks (format, completeness, units, unusually large changes) the last good version stays on the site. A source past its update window shows as Delayed here.
A source is listed once a page on the site uses its data. One waiting for an access key, permission to reuse its data or its first import is not listed yet, and the views it feeds stay hidden.
