The /license page says the book is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, but the agent terms, agents page, manifest and the license field in every generated Markdown file still said all rights reserved and forbade redistribution. Terms version 2026-10-20: licence statement, quoting, commercial use needs agreement, token is for the human principal. The 'do not train a model' line stays, restated as the publisher's stated preference (robots.txt Content-Signal ai-train=no), separate from the licence.

…; commercial training by agreement The book is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, so training a commercial model is a commercial use that needs agreement. Reading, search and retrieval stay open; non-commercial research training is welcome on the licence terms. Machine-readable forms: Content-Signal ai-train=no, robots.txt blocks for the best-known training crawlers (retrieval agents and Google-Extended are not blocked), a TDM reservation (/.well-known/tdmrep.json and a per-page meta, with /stories left open), and an 'AI, search and training' section on /license. Three new verify invariants. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

After #64 the /license page said CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 but the agent-facing surfaces said the opposite, and the site said "no training" while inviting agents. This aligns both.
1. Terms match the license
licenseandlicense_urlin every generated Markdown file (stories and the stories index CC BY 4.0; definition, method, rules, license page and the ten chapter previews CC BY-NC-SA 4.0; other pages point at /license). Before, every non-story file said "all rights reserved (may change)".2. AI-use policy: option C (chosen by the author)
Reading, search and retrieval with credit are welcome. Training for non-commercial research is welcome on the license's terms. Training a commercial model is a commercial use, so it needs a written agreement (this is the NC term itself, not only a preference; it also leaves room to license the text to AI companies).
robots.txt: keeps Content-Signal ai-train=no and adds blocks for the best-known training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, CCBot, Bytespider, Applebot-Extended, Meta-ExternalAgent, FacebookBot, cohere-ai, Diffbot, Omgilibot, ImagesiftBot, Timpibot). Retrieval agents (OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot) are not blocked. Google-Extended is not blocked either because it also governs grounding in Gemini; ai-train=no states the preference for Google.tdm-reservationmeta (stories 0).Honest limits (stated on the page): these are requests, not a lock. In the US the license is a weak lever (CC says its licenses apply only where copyright permission is needed; fair use rulings are unsettled), the EU gives machine-readable opt-outs more weight, and the text is public in the open repository so it can be scraped from GitHub regardless. Worth a lawyer's look with the voices question.
Tests 51 pass; verify 59 invariants hold.
