Field notes
The comparison defines “not stated” narrowly: it means the checked policy did not give a number or fixed list, not that no other restriction exists. Its release checklist calls for saving the generator plan, generation date, prompt or project record, and human contributions before submission. One example warns that Suno commercial-use eligibility depends on the plan active when the output was created; a later paid plan does not retroactively grant it.
