52 addresses stand behind these figures. 4 of them are somebody quoting the authority rather than the authority itself, and each is marked. Shrinking that number means finding the official page, never deleting a line.

Why this is lawful to resellDirective (EU) 2019/1024

Public sector documents are re-usable, including commercially.

  • Article 1(6), Directive (EU) 2019/1024 — the database right of Article 7(1) of 96/9/EC shall not be exercised by public sector bodies in order to prevent the re-use of documents.
  • Article 3(1) — documents must be re-usable for commercial or non-commercial purposes.
  • § 5 UrhG — German official works carry no copyright. Abs. 2 attaches §§ 62–63: do not alter, and name the source. Both are met here by construction — a figure is quoted rather than rounded, and every answer carries its sources.
  • United Kingdom — Crown copyright under the Open Government Licence v3.0: commercial re-use, with attribution.

The one condition every licence attaches is attribution, which is why stripping sources from a response to make it smaller is not an option.
