## License posture

Per-record license metadata is in every response payload AND in the
`X-License` response header (the most-restrictive license in the payload).
Honour the source license. Notably:
  - WHO ICTRP records: non-commercial use only.
  - PMC full text: per-paper license varies; the /papers/{id}/full-text
    endpoint enforces this server-side and returns a stub for non-CC-BY
    papers — follow the redirect rather than retrying.
  - All other sources: CC0 / CC-BY / US public domain.

## Citation

Cite the underlying source (DOI / PMID / NCT / RePORTER project number),
not Endo Lab. Per-paper BibTeX / RIS / plain-text citation strings are
available today via `GET /research/papers/{id}/cite` (no request body;
returns `{"bibtex": "...", "ris": "...", "plain": "..."}`). BibTeX and
RIS export of a whole chat-thread's papers is also available via
`POST /research/chat/citations` (form fields `paper_ids`,
`format=bibtex|ris`). A broader citation-style set (APA, Vancouver,
CSL-JSON) is still planned in phase B.

## Acceptable use

No medical advice. Research only. See /terms.
