ToS vs robots.txt vs license: which one wins?

They answer different questions, so AIScrapeSafe applies strict-wins: robots.txt governs crawler access, a license or rights reservation governs reuse and mining, and terms can add contractual limits. If they conflict, the most restrictive applicable signal sets the verdict: a robots.txt "allow" never overrides a license that forbids the use.
