yes, and per HN terms and conditions only YC and YC affiliated (as you quoted) can use the api legally. I don't license my content to anyone else and so it shouldn't be use by anyone else, even if it's available on a free-for-all API (nice move HN, btw).

that's the license for the API, not the content/data the API serves

#123First great work.
Reminds that I wish there was a modern way to do this for the words people speak and write online with. I want to literally know when people started putting literally twice in sentences.
Ngram seems is out of date a piece meal. Now Corpus seems like they try but UX terrible.

#125Looking at this makes me think HN is peak design aesthetic.

#126Glad to see that the raw data is also shared. Very cool, but why the openai vs anthropic graph has no data post 2019?
I don't see any data for anything past 2019.

You might want to read it again, then: https://opensource.org/license/mit
That is about the software, not the data.
While a literal reading of the MIT license refers to "software", many datasets have been released under it.
In particular, if someone releases something that is only a dataset along with an MIT license file, the most reasonable interpretation is that the rights holder intended to release the data under the terms of that license.
I looked for copyright cases involving this specific distinction, whether "data" versus "software" makes a legal difference, but didn’t find anything.
So the question remains open (for you, for me it's pretty clear the dataset is released under MIT).
You might want to sue and find out. It sounds like an interesting experiment.

#128Funny one x)
Though I ain’t sure if even more data is useful on hackernews

'use'...arguably the sole purpose of the API is to fetch the data.
You are grasping at straws.
