 "methodology": "Each instrument's own the statutes, the court and the public bodies' own texts in GB and the US were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row). For every text, four questions were answered from its own words: what it protects or permits, are the bare figures themselves free to copy, commercial use under it, how long it lasts. Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the text read does not address the question. A instrument with several texts reads 'varies' where they disagree. 10 instruments, 17 texts.",
