I would suggest that both the data[source] and the program[output] show
which content is OGC... that way you protect yourself from the court's
definition of "reasonable person".

I don't know if that's what I'm assuming, since I'm not a programmer.  By
source code I meant the software program itself must use _identified_ OGC.
You can't use OGC in the program which is not identified and then simply
include a separate listing of all the OGC content used in the program.
The OGC content must be identified in the program so that anyone who can
and does examine the program (itself, not what it outputs) can tell what
is OGC.
