The upstream and derived-output licenses are recorded separately. A hash detects a changed mutable download; it does not by itself preserve unavailable upstream bytes.

Coverage contract

The report compiles more than 25 earlier lists. Chapter 2 requires at least three favorable references, Chapter 3 requires at least three unfavorable references, and Chapter 4 identifies conflicting source recommendations. These map to recommend, avoid, and mixed. The report says the underlying lists often lack scientific basis and use undefined terms.

Tier 2 compilation and the citation root behind several later California list wrappers. The recovered report is the evidence source. A preserved UCFPL column in the 2024 Living With Fire workbook is used only as a transcription aid for the report's F/U/C marker and reference count; it is not treated as another evidence lineage. Conservative exact reconciliation yields 130 evidence owners (83 favorable, 31 conflicting, 16 unfavorable), with 31 compound or non-exact taxonomy rows held.
