For every page, five questions were answered from its own words: how it takes the data, does it name PCB or electronics design files, what it asks for, in its words, how an owner gets in, what it says about rights in the data. Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the page read does not address the question. A organisation with several pages reads 'varies' where they disagree. 10 organisations, 10 pages. ## Sources - [Freelancer, PCB Archives Licensing for AI Training (a buyer's posting)](https://www.freelancer.com/projects/embedded-systems/pcb-archives-licensing-for-training) (read) - [Shutterstock, Data Partner Network](https://www.shutterstock.com/data-licensing/data-partner-network) (read) - [Shutterstock, Data Licensing](https://www.shutterstock.com/data-licensing) (not-terms) - [Defined.ai, Partnership Programs](https://defined.ai/partnerships) (read) - [Protege, for data providers](https://withprotege.ai/data-provider) (read) - [Mercor, company data](https://mercor.com/data) (read) - [Opendatabay, licensed data marketplace](https://www.opendatabay.com/) (read) - [Datarade, apply to become a data provider](https://providers.datarade.ai/apply) (read) - [AWS Data Exchange, providing data products](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/data-exchange/latest/userguide/providing-data-sets.html) (read) - [Databricks Marketplace](https://www.databricks.com/product/marketplace) (read) - [micro1, Electronics Expert - DesignSpark PCB (a contributor role)](https://jobs.micro1.ai/post/c4dcf219-4064-4ae3-9d8f-c76937fbcdaa) (read) - [Hugging Face, open-schematics dataset (84,000 KiCad schematics from public repositories)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bshada/open-schematics) (not-terms) - [Korben, 84,000 electronic schematics to train AI](https://korben.info/en/84000-electronic-schematics-train-ai-circuits.html) (not-terms) ## Cite or embed - 4 of 10 organisations whose pages we read license data from the businesses that own it, read 27 October 2026. - How it takes the data, by organisation: licenses data from the businesses that own it 4 of 10, runs a marketplace where owners list data for sale 4 of 10, pays individual experts to make new data 1 of 10, posted a request to buy a specific archive 1 of 10 (10 organisations, read 27 October 2026). - Does it name PCB or electronics design files, by organisation: not stated 5 of 10, names PCB or electronics design files 2 of 10, names technical or engineering data, not PCB files 2 of 10, names other kinds of data only 1 of 10 (10 organisations, read 27 October 2026). - What it asks for, in its words, by organisation: stated 7 of 10, not stated 3 of 10 (10 organisations, read 27 October 2026). - How an owner gets in, by organisation: stated 6 of 10, not stated 4 of 10 (10 organisations, read 27 October 2026). - What it says about rights in the data, by organisation: not stated 5 of 10, stated 5 of 10 (10 organisations, read 27 October 2026).
