2026-10-11, Lilleman auf Larv. Serves goal 2. Where no register publishes a country's
streets under an open licence, the only source is OpenStreetMap, and its ODbL binds a
derived database to share-alike and attribution, which every program linking that country's
geo package would carry. Its `address` prints no street, and the README's Data section says
why beside that country. It holds today for China, India, Egypt, Bangladesh, Indonesia and
Pakistan. Valid until the maintainer accepts ODbL data, or the country opens a register.
