The source
The U.S. Copyright Office publishes its AI work, including analysis of generative AI training. Consult the underlying reports rather than assuming a general rule resolves a particular license.

What this means for data owners
For a licensing discussion, identify what material is included, who created it and which rights are proposed. A general discussion of AI training is not a rights clearance for a specific company archive.
What it does not establish
This source does not value your dataset, establish a right to license it or confirm buyer demand. The practical implications above are editorial interpretation, not a statement of the source publisher’s commercial position.
