+## CLE corpus acquisition (2026-10-29, owner-reported)
+
+The owner is waiting for an Urdu corpus from CLE (Center for Language
+Engineering, UET Lahore). Owner-side steps enumerated for the record:
+
+1. Written license terms from CLE covering (a) research vs commercial use,
+   (b) redistribution of DERIVED WEIGHTS (the clause our gate blocks on),
+   (c) required attribution wording, (d) corpus version and checksum.
+2. The license_review record filed by the owner (law: UNVERIFIED/LicenseRef-*
+   blocks publish; waivers are license_review records). Until then urd-g2p
+   stays GATED-1 ready-pending-license (weights done, 0.16 CER, parity
+   cleared, fixtures built — 53-ship-set).
+3. Data channel decision: GitHub Releases re-release if the license permits
+   corpus redistribution; gated store + weights-only otherwise.
+4. Fallback if CLE stalls: ship urd-g2p research-only, or retrain on an open
+   Urdu dictionary (pre-recorded ship-set options).
+5. On license-green: retrain urd-g2p on the licensed corpus, re-run WO51
+   gates, flip card/index from research-only, ship. Separately: whether the
+   CLE corpus also feeds the urd-diac 3.57 -> < 3 push is its own WO.
