Description

Not much of a technical bug, but I noticed the cli.js comment section looking like this:

// Claude Code is a Beta product per Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service.
// By using Claude Code, you agree that all code acceptance or rejection decisions you make,
// and the associated conversations in context, constitute Feedback under Anthropic's Commercial Terms,
// and may be used to improve Anthropic's products, including training models.
// You are responsible for reviewing any code suggestions before use.

// (c) Anthropic PBC. All rights reserved. Use is subject to Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms).

// Version: 1.0.6

From my understanding, that would mean that all material is used for improving the product and training models, since they are all treated as feedback.
The documentation says otherwise:
https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/overview#license-and-data-usage

I'm unsure which license practically applies. Usually terms that come with the software are the ones that are binding.
