For the benefit of those on this list, there was a follow-up IRC conversation, in which the outcome was, briefly:
SPARQL queries are user queries, and thus would be subject to the same rules as search queries. Which means that they are not released except under NDA and with good rationale.
I'm not a lawyer, so that is just my very high-level summary of the conversation.

Hi!
I was asked about getting access to query logs for Wikidata Query Service, for research purposes. So I'd like to start the discussion on it, specifically:
- Can we do it at all - technically, legally, privacy-wise? (note we're
talking about SPARQL query text only, no other information to be
provided)
- Are there any considerations why we may want *not* to do it even if
we could?
- How hard would it be to make such export and do we have any existing
infrastructure that should be used for this?
All ideas/comments about providing (or not providing :) access to this data are welcome. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@wikimedia.org
