The file stations.csv is distributed under the Open Database License (ODbL) licence, see LICENCE.txt. In short, any modification to this data source must be published.
Data sources include OpenStreetMap, SNCF OpenData, and GeoNames all released under ODbL or compatible licences; and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears.
The file stations.csv contains all our data representing train stations. The file is UTF-8 encoded text file and Comma Separated Value (CSV) formatted – although a semi-colon ; is used to delimitate fields.
