Check for possible new data/geo licenses

from @pabs3 See https://whosonfirst.org/docs/licenses/

[DennisClark]

a very odd "license" -- the license text is basically just this:

"Crediting Who's On First is recommended and linking back to the License is required."

and the "linking back" is obviously critical, since the list of contributors could obviously change (although it does not appear to have been updated since 2020-02-21)

further analysis in progress

[DennisClark]

@AyanSinhaMahapatra please create the following license and associated rules:

key: whosonfirst-license name: whosonfirst license short-name: whosonfirst license owner: whosonfirst homepage: https://whosonfirst.org/docs/licenses/ category: Proprietary Free spdx: LicenseRef-scancode-whosonfirst-license

notes: Attribution must reference the link to the license page which contains a list of the contributors and their individual licenses, which may vary greatly in obligations and restrictions: https://whosonfirst.org/docs/licenses/ The Who's On First dataset is both an original work and a modification of existing open data (sources listed below). Some of those open data projects do require attribution. We detail all sources and their specific license, usage, and vintage metadata in the full sources list.

text: Crediting Who's On First is recommended and linking back to the License is required.

This issue isn't about the license at the top of the page, but about the many links to other licenses throughout the page.

Yes, and there are a lot of these, so I think Dennis is just starting from the top!

This yields all these URLs:

for a in $(curl https://whosonfirst.org/docs/licenses/ | tidy -q -i -w 300 | egrep -oh -e "and <a.*href=\"([^\"]+).*>license</a>" | egrep -o "http[^\"]+" | sort -u); do echo - [ ] $a; done
