  • CITATION.cff: Shkolnik & von Bergmann, v0.2.0 — GitHub will render the "Cite this repository" button with APA/BibTeX export, and Zenodo/scholarly indexers pick it up.
  • LICENSE: copyright holder is Dmitry Shkolnik alone (2024–2026). Credit for the R cancensus lineage moves to the citation, which is the right instrument for it.
  • README: new "Citing pycancensus" section with the text citation; License section now distinguishes code (MIT) from retrieved data (StatCan Open Licence); the StatCan attribution section points to pc.dataset_attribution() which generates the exact required text.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

- CITATION.cff (Shkolnik & von Bergmann) so GitHub renders a "Cite
  this repository" button with APA/BibTeX export
- LICENSE copyright holder is Dmitry Shkolnik alone (2024-2026); the
  intellectual lineage from R cancensus is credited via citation
  rather than copyright
- README: add a Citing pycancensus section; note that MIT covers the
  code while retrieved data falls under the Statistics Canada Open
  Licence, and point to pc.dataset_attribution() for generating the
  required attribution text
