How to read this table

“Yes” and “No” are our reading of an exact quoted clause, shown on each document's page with the date we read it and a link to the document. “No clause found” means our reader found no clause on that point in the tracked text; it does not mean the use is allowed. “Unknown” means the document was not recorded at our latest check. Quotes are limited to 200 characters; the source document is authoritative.

For free tiers, “Yes” means the terms allow commercial use; for the other columns “Yes” means the restriction or practice applies.

Not legal advice. "No clause found" does not mean "allowed".
