No, it is prohibited. They're just updating the docs to be more clear about their position, which haven't changed. Their docs was unclear about it.

Yes, it was always prohibited, hence the OpenCode situation one or two months ago.

They really need to correct that. I understand jack shit. Is openclaw banned under these terms? Or just abuse where I build a business on top of that? And why does it matter anyway? I have my token restrictions ... So let me do what I want.

woof, does Anthropic not have a comms team and a clear comms policy for employees that aren’t on that comms team?

Probably not, they’re like four years old and they’re 2500 people at the company. My guess is that there are but a handful of PMs.

Incorrect, the third-party usage was already blocked (banned) but it wasn't officially communicated or documented. This post is simply identifying that official communication rather than the inference of actual functionality.
