Licensing
VisDocAgentBench combines benchmark-authored annotations with page images derived from independently licensed source documents. These components do not share one blanket license.
Benchmark-Authored Material

Source-Document Page Images
Every page image under corpus/pages/ remains governed by the license recorded in the corresponding row of corpus/documents.jsonl. The manifest also supplies the source title, authors, exact arXiv version, and source URL needed for attribution.
The distributed images come from:
- 55 documents licensed under CC BY 4.0; and
- 4 documents licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
The noncommercial and share-alike conditions of CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 continue to apply to those four sources. Users must inspect license_url in corpus/documents.jsonl before reusing an image.
Metadata-Only Sources
Page images are not redistributed for:
- 35 documents under the arXiv nonexclusive distribution license; and
- 6 documents under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.
Their benchmark metadata and annotations remain available. The code repository provides a local reconstruction utility that downloads the exact source version from arXiv for evaluation. Local use and any subsequent redistribution remain subject to the source license.
