Source licensing review evidence, 2026-09-27/28 pass¶
Per-source evidence for the delegated licensing review pass recorded in sdlc/records/2026-09-27-source-licensing-review-pass.md. Every row names the URL checked, the access date, and the finding. The final split across the 48 sources due 2026-03-20: 45 verified (CIViC, WikiPathways and PharmGKB resolved on 2026-09-28, Enrichr on 2026-09-29), 2 changed (COSMIC, CPIC), 1 restricted (Enrichr, verified and relabelled the same day from the live terms submenu page; the 09-27 call had read the broken help page). JS-walled pages were read from their live JS bundles, which are the citable sources for those rows.

| wikipathways | https://www.wikipathways.org/terms.html | 2026-09-28 | verified (2026-09-28 correction of the 09-27 call): the current site's terms page is live and states WikiPathways "decided to adopt the Creative Commons CC0 waiver for our content" |
| cell-model-passports | https://depmap.sanger.ac.uk/documentation/data-usage-policy/ | 2026-10-01 | verified: the Sanger DepMap Data Usage Policy grants a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the data files for internal proprietary research and education, excludes resale of all or a significant part and the provision of commercial services, and requires prior consent for commercial API/data use; non-commercial API access needs no registration |
| depmap | https://forum.depmap.org/t/license-for-data-found-in-the-depmap-portal/130 | 2026-10-01 | verified: DepMap's own guidance says DepMap-generated data are generally CC BY 4.0 while other hosted projects may use different licenses, and each file's Data Usage and Terms must be checked per download; a 2026-07-28 staff update (https://forum.depmap.org/t/provide-an-open-endpoint-for-latest-version-retrieval/4652) reports newly generated data carry restricted terms — research use free, commercial use separately licensed; the portal's own terms page was behind bot verification at access time |
Counts: the 2026-09-27/28 pass reviewed 48 sources (the split above). The two 2026-10-01 rows extend the table to 50 for the identifier-only entries added later, and the 300-day guard applies to all 50 rows. The Cell Model Passports row cites the Sanger DepMap Data Usage Policy because the Cell Model Passports portal documents itself under Sanger DepMap's documentation and data-usage policy — the portal's own pages link there for licensing.
No open items remain: Enrichr was verified and relabelled restricted on 2026-09-29 from the live terms submenu page (the 09-27 call had read the broken help page), and every row in the table carries a verified review date (the counts paragraph above states the coverage).
