+ This derivative dataset is subject to the same terms of use as the original database, available in `license.md` at the repository root. These licensing conditions are stipulated by the International Foundation for Valuing Impacts. At the time of writing, the licensing terms provide for wide use of the data on a complimentary basis (including by account preparers) with limited exclusions to that position for those looking to integrate the data into commercial data products for which licensing charges apply. Questions regarding licensing of the database and requests for clarification regarding allowable uses and any other queries regarding compliance with the terms of their license should be referred to the IFVI.
