What about the audio files themselves?

Hey @hbredin ! Sorry for the delay in response:

We don't claim ownership over the audio files themselves so we didn't feel that we could apply the license to it. But in the paper, we cite Swatch Group Management Services Ltd. v. Bloomberg L.P. as legal precedent that make earnings calls "fair use"

So non-commercial, then. Got it! Thanks!
