Licensing: Each ranking agency licenses its full data and methodology under terms specific to that agency. FWUR exposes per-cycle headline ranks under fair-use citation; for sub-indicator scores or commercial use, refer to each agency's licensing page. ADR-040 §결정 4 forbids constructing per-pillar "FWUR Teaching/Research/Reputation Score" naming until ≥4 of 6 agencies grant sub-indicator licensing.
