Sources

• anime-offline-database by cedya77, continuing manami-project’s original: IDs across providers, titles and synonyms. ODbL 1.0 and DbCL 1.0.
• Anime-Lists: AniDB to TVDB and TMDB IDs, season and episode offsets. Every row from it carries origin: anime-lists, so it can be removed cleanly if its maintainers ever ask.
• AniList: airing status, episode counts and sequel relations read by the bots, used for detection; no AniList titles are stored.
• TMDB: season episode counts read in CI to check mappings; nothing from the TMDB API is stored or published. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
• AniDB: IDs appear as facts. Courmap never calls the AniDB API and never redistributes AniDB titles.
