1What “kept after deletion, in some form” means here

Keeping content after deletion, whether anonymised or as copies other users made, means the delete button does not reach everything.

Krikey AI has the same reading, which makes 2 of the 24 tools.

This is how the clause reads on its face; how a court would read it is a separate matter.

3Why it matters for a book

Deletion and licence are separate. Removing a project may end the copy the tool keeps for you without ending the licence already granted, and copies others made of public work stay where they are.
