Congratulations on your hard work, jetset, but...
I find it hard to believe that all matches in all seasons were played on Sundays (except Easter Sunday), and that there were no postponements. In other words, the match dates seem to be lifted from another database, and regardless of whether this might constitute copyright infringement, professional diligence requires digging through old newspapers to establish the exact date (and time, if given) of all matches - that's what distinguishes original, sound research from indiscriminate copying. Unless, of course, you obtained the consent of the original authors to transfer the data to another database, which I assume they won't give away for free (or at least without making a mention of the source).
I know your intentions were genuine, but exposing yourself to cease and desist demands and/or a lawsuit is a dangerous course to take. Additionally a clash with these guys might bring the whole of DFS into disrepute, which is surely not what you have intended.
My apologies if this is not the case, but as far as I know only one source of these results is available on the net, apart from some hard to obtain books.
