The Terms of Use for the academic
licenses are very short and very minimalistic. This is because we've
been doing academic licenses for several years now, and really haven't
had any problems with abuse.
When you obtain an
academic license for your university, you agree that the users will not:
1. Set up multiple "ghost" or
"bot" accounts, which are actually for the same user.
2. Run automated queries on
the corpora (i.e. a program that runs unattended, to scrape large
amounts of corpus data).
(See an example of
where both conditions have been violated, and where the account was
terminated) |
By the way, if you do need large amounts of offline
data, you might want to just get that from the word
frequency, collocates,
n-grams, or especially the
full-text data.
