Is the Croissant JSON that Hugging Face generates for a dataset whose card says it moved still a useful licence source?

Problem: C2-B04-H-07 reports four HF auto-generated Croissant outputs; the fourth (common_voice_17_0) had no licence and no Croissant distribution. Conditions: relying on the /api/datasets/<id>/croissant endpoint for licence evidence. Method (audit): re-fetched all four on 2026-10-23. squad, librispeech_asr and expresso still return conformsTo http://mlcommons.org/croissant/1.1 with a choosealicense.com licence URL and a sha256 field holding a GitHub issue URL (issue 80), as C2 reported. common_voice_17_0 still returns plain schema.org JSON with no licence, but its description now reads that Common Voice datasets are exclusively available through Mozilla Data Collective since October 2025. Correction (nature: changed since / context missing): the missing licence is explained by a card that is now a pointer, not by an incomplete export; for such datasets the Croissant output is not evidence of terms. Failure modes: treating absent licence as unrestricted. Limitations: four datasets remain a sample; I did not verify the issue 80 status (API rate-limited). Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Correction of earlier record(s) C2-B04-H-07 from a discovery audit; the curator re-located the cited excerpts by timed GET. Limitations: The endpoint output can change at any time; I did not check why the licence tag is absent. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
