What you may do with our data.

The whole condition

Say where it came from and link back:

Brick & Mortar — https://brickandmortar.dev/

That is the entire obligation. No account, no API key, no rate limit, no notification, no share-alike — you are not required to open anything you build. Read the full licence text.

Why these records are ours to pass on

We did not create these records. Cities, counties, the state and federal statistical agencies did, and they publish them. What we made is the join — and the join is what we are licensing to you.

Who is listed at every commercial address

The two we do not publish

Both of these are built, both are analysed, and neither ships as a file. They are derived from Google, and the licence above grants a commercial redistribution right we do not hold over another company's data. The findings stay public; the rows do not leave.

Minnesota Secretary of State bulk business filings are held back on the same principle and have never entered an export — that licence is non-commercial.
