    1. Any agreement between OAI and you only binds you, and not people who get the data from you.

    2. This clause may be preempted by copyright law. It’s complicated but it may not be possible to use contract law to create an alternative to copyright.

        To avoid misunderstandings that some might have. These are copyright licenses. When someone writes something that is the least bit creative, that text is under copyright. A short program/function where the code follows the technical necessities is public domain. Only individual expression gets copyright.

        Without a license, you are not allowed to copy or modify a copyrighted text. These permissive licenses allow you to do things which would otherwise be illegal.
