What licence questions matter when material is accessible through exports or MCP?
Access through a website, downloadable export or public MCP server should be distinguished from the licence permissions needed for training, evaluation and redistribution.
**Does public access establish permission to train on the material?**
A buyer should check the applicable licence rather than infer permissions from accessibility. A website page, downloadable export and MCP response may serve different purposes, and their access mechanisms do not by themselves define permitted use.
**Which uses should a model lab describe?**
Specify whether the material will support pre-training, supervised training, internal evaluation, published benchmarks or demonstrations. Ask how the licence addresses transformations, derived task packs, sharing with contractors and redistribution of source material. These are questions to resolve, not assumed MirrorFirm terms.
**What should accompany an export or response?**
Ask for a clear connection to the applicable licence notice and release identifier. The lab should be able to determine which permissions apply to retained material after it enters an internal pipeline.
**What if the intended use changes?**
Recheck the agreed scope before moving an internal evaluation pack into a public benchmark or external distribution. A practical first step is to send a concise intended-use description covering users, processing and onward sharing, then request confirmation of the permissions and restrictions that would apply.
Clarify permitted uses for each delivery channel before incorporating generated material into models, benchmarks or shared research assets.
