Perhaps you could use the query log (just the list of SPARQL queries) and utilize an offline installation of the query service to execute them and generate aggregate statistics?

As a rule of thumb, if you think you've found a convenient way around needing an NDA... you probably haven't. ;-)

The log of the list of queries would also be covered under the privacy policy. The log contains arbitrary, free-form user input and therefore is treated as containing personally identifying information until proven otherwise. You're correct that aggregates (like the ones that you're after) are generally fine to release publicly, but the person creating those aggregates would still need an NDA.

I understood Ben's "you" in the snippet that you quoted to refer to the Wikidata team. Does their Wikimedia employment contract not include the necessary non-disclosure provisions?
