Each file regenerates from the live database on request, so the figures match what the site shows today. No email required. Licensing differs per file — the license that applies is stated next to each download, in every file's first line, and in full at /data/LICENSE.txt. That first line is a license comment, not the CSV header — in pandas, load with read_csv(url, comment='#').
