 ## Rights, limitations and citation
 
 The [official dataset card](https://huggingface.co/datasets/dongqi-me/SciNews) declares CC BY 4.0 and also imposes gated access terms restricting use to non-commercial academic research or education. Both statements are retained in the verbatim [SOURCE_README.md](SOURCE_README.md); the CC BY tag does not erase the gate conditions. Their applicability to redistribution needs clarification, and redistribution remains unresolved. News articles can carry third-party copyright and other obligations.
 
-These local packages are intended for private research storage; remote visibility has not been verified or changed. Private storage does not supply redistribution permission. Labels and topic distributions reflect source selection, historical coverage, class imbalance and automatic preprocessing. Family grouping limits known leakage but does not establish that every semantic duplicate was detected. Normalized representations do not guarantee current facts, absence of personal information or suitability for downstream decisions.
+Source selection, historical coverage, class imbalance and automatic preprocessing affect the labels and topic distributions. Family grouping reduces known duplicate leakage, but some semantic duplicates may remain. The articles may contain personal information and outdated claims. Assess the corpus's suitability for your application before relying on it for decisions.
