Which licence questions matter when generated handover tasks become a benchmark?

**Does an evaluation licence necessarily cover training?**

Do not assume it does. Ask which uses are included for the proposed release: internal evaluation, model training, fine-tuning, demonstrations and publication of benchmark material. These are questions to resolve in the licence, not terms to infer from the delivery format.

**What if the benchmark is shared outside the buying team?**

Describe the intended recipients and access routes. Ask whether contractors, hosted evaluation services or external researchers may receive records, and whether transformed tasks or excerpts can be redistributed. A downloadable export and a tool that returns individual records may both expose licensed content.

**What should publication rights cover?**

Clarify whether public reports may include prompts, generated responses, reference answers and failure traces. Also ask how attribution, version identification and retained copies should be handled under the agreed terms.

The commercial material should be specified as generated output. Licence scope does not replace inspection of grounding and disclosure risk. A practical first step is to list the planned uses and publication surfaces, then request explicit treatment of each before integrating the release into a shared benchmark.
