JobFinder — licensing terms Last updated: 2026-07-24 This repository contains two kinds of material governed by two different sets of terms. Neither section covers the whole repository. Read both. ================================================================================ 1. CODE — MIT License ================================================================================ Applies to the software in this repository: files with the extensions .py, .js, .bat, .sh, .yml, .yaml, .html, .css, .md, and the GitHub Actions workflows. Copyright (c) 2026 Jenny Sotnik Talisman Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE. ================================================================================ 2. DATA — all rights reserved ================================================================================ Applies to the data files in this repository and to the data served from it: *.csv, jobs_data.json, history.csv, companies.json, and any file whose content is a collection of job postings or of observations about them. The carve-outs in section 3 take precedence over this section. What is NOT claimed ------------------- The individual job postings are facts published by third-party employers. No ownership is claimed over any individual posting, over the fact that a given employer is hiring, or over any employer's trademarks or names. Anyone is free to go to the same ~90 sources and collect the same postings themselves. What IS claimed --------------- Two things, both of them original work rather than found facts: (a) The compilation — the selection, aggregation, normalisation, de-duplication and arrangement of postings drawn from ~90 separate sources into a single structured set. (b) The observational record — data that exists only because this project has been watching those sources daily and that cannot be reconstructed after the fact by scraping them today: first-observed and last-observed dates, posting lifetimes and closure dates, appearance/disappearance histories, staleness scores, hiring-velocity figures, and machine classifications of postings. Permitted without asking ------------------------ - Reading and browsing the site. - Personal, non-commercial use, including saving postings you are interested in and applying to them. - Quoting figures or excerpts in research, journalism, teaching or reporting, with attribution to JobFinder and the date of collection. - Reproducing the code under section 1 and running it against the original sources to build your own dataset. Not permitted without prior written permission ---------------------------------------------- - Bulk or systematic extraction of the data, whether in one request or many. - Redistributing, republishing or mirroring these data files, in whole or in substantial part, including in a modified or reformatted form. - Building a derived dataset or a competing product or service from them. - Using them to train or fine-tune machine-learning models. - Removing or obscuring attribution. Permission may be requested through this repository's issue tracker. Change of terms as of 2026-07-24 -------------------------------- Until 2026-07-24 the README of this repository stated that the data was available under the Open Database License v1.0 (ODbL). That statement is withdrawn and replaced by this section for all data published on or after 2026-07-24. Copies obtained before that date were received under ODbL and keep those terms; ODbL is perpetual and irrevocable and nothing here purports to revoke it retroactively. Data published from 2026-07-24 onward is governed by this section only. ================================================================================ 3. THIRD-PARTY MATERIAL — carve-outs ================================================================================ Section 2 does not apply to material this project did not produce: - data/avodata_ref.json — occupational reference data derived from avodata.labor.gov.il (Israeli Ministry of Labour processing of Central Bureau of Statistics 2023 data). Its embedded skills glossary comes from O*NET OnLine (USDOL/ETA, CC BY 4.0) and from the European Commission's ESCO classification, as republished by avodata. Redistributed under the terms of those sources, with their attribution preserved in the file itself. This file is deliberately public and is fetched by an external service; it must stay public. - Any third-party library, font or asset vendored into this repository keeps the licence it came with. Employer names, logos and trademarks appearing in the data belong to their respective owners and are used to identify the source of a posting.
