Rights and provenance of anything translated
An English rendering the programme produces is a program-produced translation carrying its method, model, timestamps, review status and source linkage, and is never labelled a source transcript. Translation and translation-public-reuse are separate gates from access, text and rights.
Where no English counterpart is published, an English rendering the programme produces is a program-produced translation carrying its method, model, timestamps, review status and source linkage, and is never labelled a source transcript. In the eligibility schemas, translation and translation-public-reuse are separate gates from access, text and rights.
Training or fine-tuning on collected Amharic news raises unresolved rights questions; the proposed split was methods, evaluation sets and tooling upstream, curated corpus and judgments internal. Modern composed liturgical music is under copyright even where ancient texts are not.
× What it broke
Nothing in the pipeline; the gates exist. What remains unresolved is whether any collected Amharic news may be used to train or tune a model, and the programme did not.
✓ What it established
Layer four of the evidence model: a translation is a derivative with its own provenance, never a source. And the open-source split that follows from it: publish the methods and the evaluation set, keep the corpus.
