Combined data license / attribution statement

[tomalrussell]

Hi, I'm interested in using powerplantmatching in future projects - is there a preferred attribution statement and applicable license for the dataset held in this repository? (powerplants.csv)

I have found:

• how to cite powerplantmatching itself: https://powerplantmatching.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#citing-powerplantmatching
• links to upstream data sources: https://powerplantmatching.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basics.html#data-sources

I'd like something like:

powerplants.csv v1.2.1 (December 2022) Fabian Hofmann and contributors. Available online at https://github.com/PyPSA/powerplantmatching/blob/0e0837d018db36b88417a92f4e034d577ac7ed77/powerplants.csv

Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY 4.0

Contains open data cleaned and combined from multiple sources... [details go here, including any license compatibility from upstream]

@tomalrussell sorry for the late response. A couple of people are on holiday. I am not sure about the license situation of the data here, but in general a license table for all the databases listed in ppm would be nice. Feel free to create a PR on this 👍

PyPSA-Eur offers something like that here:
