Hello Analytics!
I have a licensing question. If someone were to share a screenshot of the Pageviews Analysis https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews tool (or similar), are they bound the REST API licenses described at https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/ ?
I assume so but wanted to make sure. I was prompted with this question because a user was considering using screenshots in a scholarly article. They wish to publish it under a CC-BY license.
Please tell me if this statement is accurate:
*The underlying pageviews data shown in Pageviews Analysis is provided by the Wikimedia RESTBase API https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/, released under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ and GFDL https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html licenses. Any use of this data, including screenshots, is bound by these licenses, and you irrevocably agree to release modifications or additions under these licenses.*
Thanks!

My 2 cents:
Data on pageviews endpoint is available under: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ (you need to expand each endpoint to see this, sorry, that UX could be better).
You can add to pageview tool a note about licensing of the features it provides. For example: see the footer on wikistats: https://stats.wikimedia.org/v2/#/all-projects
"All data, charts, and other content is available under the Creative Commons CC0 dedication."
Thanks,
Nuria

Just to back up what Nuria's saying, that logic was reviewed by legal and they suggested we use the language that Nuria quotes from Wikistats 2. So I would assume, though I am not a lawyer, that the same language could be used on all data-backed UIs such as the pageviews tool.
