## Third-party material

Every landmark record cites its underlying sources (news articles, official
post-mortems, court documents, specs). Those sources remain the property of
their respective publishers and are **not** covered by this license — the
records summarize and cite them; they do not reproduce them.

The illustrated map artwork and per-landmark artwork are original to this
