What the license does not include

The dataset license does not relicense external source texts, images, trademarks, or the full article bodies. Linked references retain their own terms. The full-article API is for bounded reference use and citation, not an implied blanket republication license.

Interpret the fields carefully

Mature entries are labeled. Regional tags identify context, not exclusive ownership or proven origin. Source availability does not establish popularity; no search-volume or live trend score is invented. Definitions are fallible and should be considered alongside their cited evidence.
