Why the wording stays close to the vendor's own
Values are recorded close to the vendor's own words rather than summarised. A paraphrase of a licence is a new licence, and a reader relying on one is usually making a decision that turns on the difference. As of 2026-09-22.
| Editing done to a value | Whether it is allowed here |
|---|---|
| Shortening a sentence without changing its scope | Yes, and the link carries the full text |
| Replacing a term with a synonym | No: legal terms are not synonyms |
| Dropping a condition to fit a cell | No: the condition goes in the cell or the row is split |
| Adding a word the document does not use | No, including words that make a row comparable |
Inclusion rule. Rules this register applies to every row. A rule is written down here when following it changes what a cell says, or when breaking it would make the grid look more complete than it is. Order. Reading order: the ordinary case first, then the awkward ones.
1Synonyms do not carry the same weight in a licence
Licence, permission, right and grant are close in ordinary English and do different work in a contract. So do own, hold and may publish. Swapping any of them for a tidier word changes what the cell claims.
The same applies to conditions. Dropping a qualifier because a column is narrow produces a broader statement than the vendor made, and it is always the reader who pays for the tidiness.
2What to do when wording will not fit
Split the row, or put the condition in the cell and let the table be wide. Where even that fails, the cell carries the shortest accurate form and the page beneath it carries the full sentence.
That is the reason the recorded cells have their own pages. A grid cell holds a conclusion; the page holds the wording, the address and what the sentence does not settle.
3Why this rule matters more than it sounds
The value of a register like this one is that a cell can be pasted into a note and defended. That property disappears the first time a summary is quoted as if it were a clause.
Every other rule on this page exists to protect a reading. This one protects the sentence, which is the part the reader will eventually have to show somebody else.
4The rest of the method
A rule about recording, not a statement about any vendor: nothing on this page is attributed and nothing on it is legal advice. The rules are collected on the reading page, the quoted clauses are on commercial use, and the cells this rule produced are on the recorded cells. Nearby rules: Pages read, Rows.

Alongside the terms behind “Quoting”, SceneMixer's guides describe the work itself this way:

The terms grant you the output to the extent the law allows, and that includes commercial use.
