Thanks @hmert — I've completed the PR template in the description above: Summary, License (CC BY 4.0), relationship (Owner), and the checklist. The resource is fully open source (public repo, CC BY 4.0, no paid tier). The entry is a single bullet in the Data Sets section following the existing [Name](URL) - description style. Happy to adjust wording or placement if you'd like anything changed.
