While I understand where you’re coming from, in terms of the current legal situation, you are liable for mistakenly believing some license information when that turns out to be wrong. The way that publishers, for example, avoid such pitfa

The first mistake is to believe the definition of "bias" requires intent to harm. It doesn't. Any systemic error is "bias", even if it's just your thermometer always reporting 2 deg more than the actual tempera
