Plugin code

The plugin retains its existing GNU General Public License version 2 or, at your

Bundled map data

A numerical comparison on 2026-10-17 matched all 280 country subpaths and 9,981
vertices, within the SVG's one-decimal precision, to Natural Earth 1:110m Admin 0
Countries data under the existing Miller cylindrical frame. Compared v4.1.0 and
v5.1.1 shapefiles are byte-identical. This identifies a dataset geometry match,
not a recovered original SVG conversion script, creator or acquisition history.

Natural Earth publishes that map data as public domain and permits modification
and redistribution, including commercial use, without required permission or
credit. Optional dataset credit: Made with Natural Earth.

Dataset: https://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/110m-cultural-vectors/110m-admin-0-countries/

The original downloader, date and converter remain unknown. No additional
converter/wrapper rights or general legal clearance are asserted. The SVG was
not replaced or reprojected. The source project's docs/svg-provenance.md records
the comparison method, two half-decimal serialization ties and evidence limits.

This notice preserves the distinction between the declared plugin-code licence
and verified dataset terms; it does not assign authorship or invent permission.
