> The issue here seems to be that the school system is saying that the researchers aren't allowed to be a witness in any lawsuit against the school system regardless of whether it has to do with the data that was shared with the researchers. While that does seem overbroad, if the restriction were only on cases related to the data shared by the researchers, then for many cases there would need to be a demonstration that it did or didn't relate to the data, and there isn't really a way to do that without disclosing the data.
