Describe the bug You do not explicitly disclaim rights (copyrights etc) in the outputs of your (online) tool.

Expected behavior My legal understanding is that you as authors and CBE probably do not have rights in the computer generated outputs. But it is uncertain unless you are explicit, at least to non-lawyers such as me.

It would be best if you would explicitly state on the Web interface and in your README or elsewhere here in the code base that you do not claim any rights over the outputs (with appropriate restrictions on reuse of the logos etc) so that people can freely use such screenshots in their own reports, papers, etc, without contacting you.
