Who owns what on this site, what you may reuse, what belongs to other people, and how to tell us about a problem.
This text was drafted from what the software actually does and has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer. Highlighted [to confirm: items] are facts or choices still open; nothing here claims a certification or a compliance status we do not have.
© 2026 Igor Moiseev [to confirm: legal entity, if the owner is not an individual]. All rights reserved except where a licence is stated on this page or inside the material itself.
The software that runs this site belongs to its author. No open-source licence has been attached to it yet, so by default all rights are reserved. [to confirm: owner decision: we propose Apache-2.0 or MIT for the code, OPEN-QUESTIONS Q7]
The pages, explanations, layout and artwork of the site are ours. You may link to them and quote short passages with credit; for anything more, ask. This does not restrict what the law allows without permission (for example quotation and fair use or fair dealing).
Findings, articles, figures and claims published under a program are meant to be reused, so that anyone can check and build on them. We propose to license the text and figures under CC BY 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0: reuse and adapt freely, with credit), and scripts under the code licence above. [to confirm: this proposal is not yet in force, owner decision, OPEN-QUESTIONS Q7. Until it is, ask before reusing beyond what the law allows.]
The licence covers what we or our contributors wrote and drew. It does not cover the underlying data of others, below, and it does not make a finding any more true: findings are provisional research outputs (see Terms).
Volunteers and proposers keep their rights in what they submit and license it to us as described in Terms. Published contributions are credited to their contributor. Do not submit anything you do not have the right to share.
Programs read public data and literature published by others. We cite each source and we do not claim it. Reuse of that data is governed by each source's own terms, which are the only terms that count; the list is for orientation and we have not verified every licence. [to confirm: check the current terms of each source before relying on any derived dataset, OPEN-QUESTIONS Q13]

Each finding names the sources behind it. Where the program page says so, a source's required attribution line is shown there. Nothing here means a source, its owner or its funder endorses Bistro Research or any finding.
Google, Microsoft, Stripe, Claude and Anthropic, Gemini, Lean, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO, OECD, World Bank, OpenAQ, CDC, WastewaterSCAN and other names are the marks or names of their owners. We use them only to say what we connect to or where data comes from, and no sponsorship, partnership or endorsement is implied. The name “Bistro Research” [to confirm: trademark status, OPEN-QUESTIONS Q18].
The logo and the achievement badges are original compositions of red, blue and yellow blocks between black rules, in the manner of the neo-plastic grid paintings of Piet Mondrian. They do not reproduce any painting and imply no link to anyone connected with him. They belong to us [to confirm: authorship and ownership of the artwork]; you may show your own earned badges and link to the site, but do not use the logo or badges in a way that suggests we endorse you.

A notice should contain:
What we do. We confirm receipt, review the notice, and remove or disable access to material that is shown to be infringing or illegal, or ask you for more. We tell the person who submitted it, say why, and give them the chance to answer. Counter-notice. If you submitted material that was removed and you believe that was a mistake, write to us with the URL, your name and address, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith that it was removed by mistake or misidentification, and consent to the courts of your country for any dispute; we may then restore it unless the claimant tells us they have started legal action. Repeat infringers. We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe. Knowingly false notices can carry legal liability.
Sealed proof-of-work files cannot be edited, so we remove or disable infringing or unlawful material by taking the revision out of public view, not by changing it.
