WHAT THIS COVERS

This license applies to the dataset — the facility records in `data/`
(principally `data/facilities.json`) and any files derived directly from it.
The source code of this project is licensed separately under the MIT License;

Third-party data incorporated into or displayed alongside this dataset remains
under its own terms and is not relicensed here, including:

  - Map basemap tiles and geometry: © OpenStreetMap contributors, licensed
    under the Open Database License (ODbL), served via OpenFreeMap.
  - Natural Earth (public domain) — generalized rivers and lakes geometry for
    the optional "waterways" map overlay.
  - HIFLD "Electric Power Transmission Lines" (public domain, U.S. Government
    Works; credit "ORNL/LANL/INL/NGA HSIP Team") — the optional "transmission"
    map overlay and per-facility nearest-transmission distance calculations.
  - USGS National Hydrography Dataset — NHD (public domain) — per-facility
    nearest-named-waterway distance calculations.
  - U.S. Drought Monitor (NDMC / USDA / NOAA) — the optional "drought" map
    overlay (point-in-time snapshot; see public/data/map-layers.json for
