Closed this issue · 1 comments

The repo currently includes a copy of the CSV file containing the US Post Offices (here). This work is licensed as CC0 1.0.
At the same time, this repository contains a single license file that sets a MIT-0 license, the existence of both files in the repo could imply that you are claiming that the CSV file is also covered by the same license, this can be a problem.
Please make sure to review the section about attribution of CC0 1.0 and comply with it. I'm not a lawyer and you should consult with OSPO if in doubt, however I think the two most straightforward options would be:
- remove the file and ask customers to download it from the source
- keep the file and make sure that you are: 1/ attributing the work, 2/ persisting the original license, 3/ complying with all the obligations of said license
