Which licence permissions should an evaluation team clarify?

**Does permission to evaluate also cover training?**

Ask explicitly. Describe whether the material will be used only for inference-time testing, for supervised training, for reinforcement learning, or to construct derived tasks. Do not assume one permitted use covers the others.

**What if a hosted model processes the tasks?**

Identify which external providers will receive generated content and whether their systems retain it. Ask how the proposed licence treats access by those providers and by contractors supporting the evaluation.

**Can we publish the benchmark or include cases in a paper?**

Clarify redistribution rights separately from the right to publish aggregate results. Public task examples, downloadable exports and content exposed through an MCP server can make the underlying material accessible beyond the original evaluation team.

**What should the request include?**

Provide the intended users, delivery channels, derivative outputs and publication plans. Ask how attribution, version identification and continued use are handled in the applicable agreement. These are questions to resolve during scoping, rather than assumed MirrorFirm terms. The material remains generated; its format alone does not determine what uses a licence permits.
