This recent report from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) is certainly worth referencing:
- DeCarolis, Joseph F, Sauleh Siddiqui, A LaRose, J Woollacott, Cara Marcy, Chris Namovicz, J Turnure, K Dyl, A Kahan, J Diefenderfer, N Vincent, B Cultice, and A Heisey (October 2024). A new generation of energy-economy modeling at the US Energy Information Administration — Working Paper 204. Washington DC, USA: US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

The suggestion (on page 15) to license the input data under the same software license as the codebase (Apache‑2.0) should be revisited. I think CC‑BY‑4.0 would make a better choice.
The feature that caught my attention was the social aspect being promoted, that all contributors should have equal status.
PS: My thoughts are with the EIA staff and leadership under the current general onslaught from the White House and DOGE on US public agencies, academia, and civil society.
