Records / Negotiation levers

Ask whether the buyer keeps, resells or publishes what it takes: record buyers range from open-source archives to resellers

OpenAI's data partnership offers two routes, an "Open-Source Archive" that "would be public for anyone to use in AI model training" and "Private Datasets" for its own models, and its page names no payment for either. Mode says it de-identifies the agreed copy "before reselling it for AI research and training", and Polyshares says "We anonymize it, build it into data sets, and supply AI labs". At the other end Labelbox's Prism makes exclusive the default (held clause labelbox--exclusivity) and Grepped says data is "never resold to competitors or published" (held clause grepped--resale). Corpus Bridge's worked example is a 3-year, non-exclusive licence.
