Data licences & attribution

The open slice: measured course topology

Track geometry (circuit lengths, turns, straights) is derived from OpenStreetMap and combined with terrain elevation to measure climb, undulation and elevation range per course. Because the geometry derives from OpenStreetMap, this slice is open data under the Open Database License (ODbL) v1.0, and we publish it in full:

GET /api/v1/open-data/course-topology — every measured course (JSON, no key required, licence metadata included). You may copy, redistribute and adapt this dataset under ODbL terms.

The same values appear inside the analytics payload as the fields courseTotalClimbM, courseUndulationIndex and courseElevationRangeM, and inside course profiles as the topology block. Wherever they appear, those fields carry the ODbL — the licence follows the data, not the endpoint.

Attribution

Track geometry © OpenStreetMap contributors, licensed under ODbL.
Elevation: produced using Copernicus data and information funded by the European Union — EU-DEM layers.

Everything else: the Veredus licence

All other data — race records, the point-in-time runner analytics (form, ratings, jockey/trainer/sire statistics, deltas), course analytics snapshots, surface histories curated from cited public sources, and the identifiers — is Veredus Analytics' own work, licensed to subscribers under our terms. It is not open data and is not covered by the ODbL.

Using topology fields in your models

Models trained on OSM-derived data are generally treated as Produced Works under the OpenStreetMap Foundation's community guidelines: training on the topology fields does not place your model or its outputs under the ODbL. If you republish the topology data itself, the ODbL's attribution and share-alike terms apply to that data.
