I am not a lawyer, but wouldn’t it seem logical to look what others are doing, when we must establish what this means: „ You must include a notice associated with
the Produced Work reasonably calculated to make any Person that uses,
views, accesses, interacts with, or is otherwise exposed to the Produced
Work aware that Content was obtained from the Database,...“

It says „reasonably calculated to make any Person that uses, views,...aware“, any. To me this reads as if it has to be put very prominently, it has to be thrown into everyone’s face so that they become aware. Looking at the industry standard seems a good indication to find out what is “reasonable”, would you agree?
