ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The license is irrevocable and perpetual, meaning users cannot withdraw it and it survives termination of the relationship, giving Zillow lasting rights over submitted materials.

Interpretive note: The excerpt is truncated after 'incorporate into other works' with an ellipsis, so the full scope of the license grant may include additional enumerated acts not captured in the canonical claim.
