That is a distinction I need to mull over.

It is narrower than that. The specific term in the CAL doesn't cover all data collected by an application. It is more constrained; it says that you have to provide a user to whom you give access to the software a copy of their own data that was provided as an input to or was an output of the software.

It was designed to allow an individual the effective means to self-host or to choose another host - in your parlance, "run" the software - without losing anything by so doing.

Thanks,
Van
