Attribution and terms

Every dataset in this repo's starters belongs to the agency that publishes it. Their terms apply to anything you build. This page is a summary to help you follow them, not legal advice, and the agencies can change their terms at any time. When in doubt, read the source.

City of San Antonio

Bexar County

  • Terms: set per dataset, in each layer's description on gis-bexar.opendata.arcgis.com. Most are reference disclaimers: the data is for display, its accuracy isn't guaranteed, and it isn't a legal survey.

  • Credit line (the historic 1896–97 layers ask for this exact wording):

    Data: Bexar County Information Technology GIS

    • Provided as is. By using the data you accept VIA's disclaimer and indemnity terms.
    • VIA can change the terms or stop the feeds without notice.

  • Credit line:

San Antonio River Authority

  • Terms: the River Authority's data terms, in each layer's description on its portal. Data is as-is, and using it means accepting the terms and their hold-harmless clause.

  • Credit: the terms require this statement, plus the date you retrieved the data:

How to say it

Built on their data, never with them. "A bus tracker built on VIA's open data" is accurate. "A bus tracker with VIA" or "in partnership with the City" implies an agreement that doesn't exist, and VIA's license explicitly forbids it.
