What licensing scope should a reseller clarify before requesting a release?

Start with the distribution model. A reseller supplying downloadable datasets has a different delivery pattern from a marketplace hosting interactive environments or exposing sample records through a public MCP server. Describe each intended route when asking about licence scope.

Clarify whether the requested rights cover onward licensing, format conversion, translated text, annotated derivatives and bundles with other material. Also identify intended customer uses, such as model training, private evaluation or operating a hosted evaluation service. These are questions to settle in the applicable agreement, not rights to infer from possession of a sample.

Separate public discovery content from the commercial payload. A catalogue summary may explain a task family without granting access to full records, answer keys or environment assets. Publicly accessible material still needs a defined distribution basis.

A useful first step is a short written description of the reseller's delivery chain, from receipt of the generated release to the downstream customer's use. Include any intermediaries and transformation steps. This gives the licensing discussion a concrete object and helps identify where proposed packaging exceeds the scope being requested.
