9+ The previous section's next action: ` video ` , one entry. One commit, ` 8f3955b ` . Entry
10+ count 305 to 310; ` video ` 1 to 6.
11+
12+ - Added, each licence read at source in a browser today: ` pexels-videos ` ,
13+ ` pixabay-videos ` , ` coverr ` (all ` active ` ), ` mixkit-stock-video ` and
14+ ` prelinger-archives ` (both ` needs-review ` ).
15+ - ** No video source names games.** The three ` active ` ones are general grants (use,
16+ copy, modify, commercially, no credit) whose exclusions do not touch shipping inside a
17+ game; each entry says that is the basis, rather than claiming a games sentence exists.
18+ Pexels at least names apps.
19+ - ** Mixkit is the catalog's clearest game-versus-video case.** On one licence page, the
20+ Sound Effects Free License lists "Video games" and the Stock Video Free License does
21+ not. Stock video stays ` needs-review ` on that omission alone; the guide now cites the
22+ pair instead of the stale "Mixkit is video-first" line.
23+ - ** Prelinger:** the archive's own FAQ says "DO NOT ASSUME" its films are public domain.
24+ Only films carrying the Creative Commons public-domain dedication are free; 28 of the
25+ 30 most-downloaded carry it (Internet Archive search API). Credit is "delighted if",
26+ neither required nor waived, so ` attribution_required ` is ` unknown ` .
27+ - Caught before commit: Coverr was first described as "smaller than Pexels" and "skewing
28+ towards lifestyle", then as the only source with an AI rule; Pexels "provides no
29+ releases"; Pexels "the largest library". None was read at a source, and Pexels' terms
30+ ban scraping for machine learning too. All removed or reworded.
31+ - Not read, and named in the entries: the Mixkit User Terms (cited by both Mixkit
32+ licences as holding "important limits"), and the full Pixabay Content License (the page
33+ rendered no licence body; the entries quote the summary).
34+ - Next highest-value action: ** read the two binding documents the entries could not:**
35+ the Mixkit User Terms and the full Pixabay Content License. Both licences point to them
36+ for limits, and between them they govern four entries (` mixkit-sfx ` ,
37+ ` mixkit-stock-video ` , ` pixabay-audio ` , ` pixabay-videos ` ). Either could settle Mixkit
38+ video's games question, or add a restriction to the three entries now marked ` active ` .
