commercial delivery terms U.S. Government license

The license field carried by the CDC and CMS datasets in this slice, releasing U.S. government works into the commercial delivery terms under usa.gov/government-works terms at no cost, with DCAT records declaring accessRights 'Open'.

In this catalog it appears concretely: - cdc-data-cdc-gov-open-data-portal — "commercial delivery terms U.S. Government". - cms-medicare-provider-charge-data-inpatient-outpatient — "US government commercial delivery terms ()". - US Treasury Daily Yield Curve Rates — "U.S. Government work - commercial delivery terms". - Census Monthly Wholesale Trade Survey (MWTS) and MRTS — "U.S. Government work - commercial delivery terms (Census Bureau)".

License language decides what you may ship to customers; the gap between free to view and free to redistribute is where launches fail.

The failure mode is concrete: the listing promises one thing, the delivered files tell another, and the gap surfaces mid-project when fixing it is most expensive.

82.4% of the 1,744 cataloged datasets are free to access, and cdc-data-cdc-gov-open-data-portal lets you inspect the real artifact before any budget is committed.

Treat every claim of this attribute as testable:

1. Open cdc-data-cdc-gov-open-data-portal and confirm its record — "commercial delivery terms U.S. Government" — against the files you actually receive.
2. Open cms-medicare-provider-charge-data-inpatient-outpatient and confirm its record — "US government commercial delivery terms ()" — against the files you actually receive.
3. Open US Treasury Daily Yield Curve Rates and confirm its record — "U.S. Government work - commercial delivery terms" — against the files you actually receive.
4. Pin down update cadence in writing: 22.6% of 1,744 cataloged datasets refresh daily and 64 arrive only through a manual request form.
5. Check whether definitions are verified at all. Field definitions are verified for 1495 of 1,744 datasets (85.7%), and any source you license should meet that bar.
6. Price the delivery route before the license. In this catalog bulk download is the most common access method (725 datasets) ahead of official APIs (574), and 379 sources still require scraping — a maintenance cost that lands on you, not the vendor.
