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

| ## 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](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/); and |
| - 4 documents licensed under [CC BY-NC-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/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](https://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/); and |
| - 6 documents under [CC BY-NC-ND 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/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. |
