1What “broad, including improvement” means here

A broad licence reaches past running the service to improving and promoting it. For a manuscript, that can include appearing in the tool's own marketing unless the terms carve such use out.

2Other tools with this reading

Fliki, Higgsfield, Luma and PopShort have the same reading, which makes 5 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

A licence is permission you give, not ownership you hand over. What changes from tool to tool is how long the permission lasts, whether it can pass to another company, and what the tool may do with a manuscript beyond making your video.
