LRS2 is offered for non-commercial academic research only after signing a BBC R&D Data Sharing agreement (agreement not read); LRS3 is described as available for research purposes under CC BY 4.0 while its licence file says the underlying TED video excerpts must respect TED terms and CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, copyright stays with the video owners, and downloads are no longer offered on the site. None of these texts mention model training.

None of these texts mention model training. Curator qualifications: How 'CC BY 4.0 for research purposes' combines with BY-NC-ND 4.0 source content is unresolved; treat LRS3 content as non-commercial, no-derivatives at the content layer. BBC agreement text not read. Page/licence text only; no data downloaded (LRS3 downloads withdrawn; LRS2 behind agreement). Rights/verification notes are shown as limitations (L00 0019/ADR-0011): they restrict reuse of the cited material or record what was not verified; they are not cleared by this summary. Limitations: Live academic pages. [component_reuse_restriction] Do not train, redistribute or modify LRS2/LRS3 media in Veyrul fixtures without rights review. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
