Licence: Each EAS dataset carries this licence block in its own Socrata metadata (https://opendata.fcc.gov/api/views/3b3k-34jp.json, and the same block on all six EAS views): "license" : { "name" : "Public Domain U.S. Government", "termsLink" : "https://www.usa.gov/government-works" }, with "licenseId" : "USGOV_WORKS". That terms link serves a meta-refresh to https://www.usa.gov/government-copyright, USAGov's "Learn about copyright and federal government materials", which was read on 2026-10-22 and states: "Government work is something created by a U.S. government officer or employee as part of their official duties." It places no restriction on commercial use or redistribution; the only limits it sets are: "You cannot use government materials in a way that implies endorsement by a government agency, official, or employee." and "You also cannot use federal government trademarks or federal government agency logos without permission." The datasets add an FCC disclaimer in their own description: "This list is provided as a public service. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SELECT A FIRM THAT IS CAPABLE OF MEASURING YOUR SPECIFIC DEVICE. The FCC takes no responsibility regarding the capability of these firms for performing the required measurements. Accordingly, firms on this list should not advertise or otherwise imply FCC approval of their site."
