 Data comes from the public data.gov.uk CKAN API.
 
+## Licence — no paywall
 
+Every tool in this package is free: no licence key, no premium tier, no hosted
+licence gateway. The paywall machinery this repo once carried (per-tool licence
+checks and paid hosted endpoints) was removed repo-wide on 2026-10-17. Nothing
+that this package installs or calls asks you to pay.
