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.

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,

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!
