All rights not expressly granted are strictly reserved, including without limitation the rights to reproduce, distribute, publish, display, perform, adapt, translate, modify, reverse engineer, extract, commercialize, sublicense, train artificial intelligence systems on, or create derivative works from the Works, in whole or in part, in any medium now known or hereafter developed.

6. Retroactive Effect and Prior Access

 

This License applies retroactively to any and all prior access, viewing, downloading, possession, or receipt of the Works, regardless of when such access occurred or under what platform conditions.

 

Any person or entity who accessed or obtained the Works prior to the publication, update, or visibility of this License is hereby placed on notice that:

• No license to use the Works was granted by such access, and

• Any continued use, implementation, reproduction, dissemination, or derivation after notice of this License is expressly prohibited unless authorized by a separate written agreement.

 

Continued possession does not imply permission.

7. No Implied License from Public Availability

 

Public availability, access, inspection, visibility, indexing, caching, archiving, or download of any Work—whether unrestricted, restricted, or platform-flagged—shall not be construed as a grant of any license, waiver, consent, or authorization beyond the limited rights expressly stated herein.

8. Prohibited Uses

 

Without a separate written license, the following are strictly prohibited:

• Commercial or operational use of any kind

• Redistribution or republication

• Use in artificial intelligence, machine learning, or automated systems

• Text and data mining
