What onward licensing questions should a reseller resolve before a pilot?

Start by describing the product you intend to sell. A downloadable dataset, a hosted evaluation service and a customer-specific task pack create different distribution patterns. The licensing discussion should address the intended pattern explicitly rather than assuming that permission to inspect a sample includes permission to resell it.

A reseller can ask whether a proposed licence would permit onward distribution of source files, transformed formats, selected excerpts, annotations and combined bundles. It should also ask about customer model training, evaluation use and redistribution by downstream customers. These are questions to resolve, not rights to presume.

Derivative packaging deserves particular attention. If you translate records, alter policies or add task answers, establish how those changes would be identified and which party would be responsible for their quality. Preserve a clear distinction between supplied generated material and reseller modifications.

A useful first step is a short distribution map showing who receives which artefacts and what they may do with them. MirrorFirm could use that map to scope a proposed release and licensing discussion. It does not replace the eventual agreement or establish terms in advance.
