I'm seeking guidance on how others handle grants from private organizations with language paraphrased below.

The Grantor is granted a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, and royalty-free license under copyright law to use (1) final grant deliverables intended for public dissemination, and (2) project-related materials submitted by your organization to the Grantor, solely for purposes of promoting the project or furthering the Grantor's charitable mission. This use may include dissemination through the Grantor's website, social media, and any other media channels. The Grantor may only exercise this license with respect to a grant deliverable after it has been published by your organization, or if your organization does not publish it by the end of the grant term or within a reasonable time thereafter, as outlined in the grant proposal.

The purpose of the grant is "to expand and document (our) model of bridging academic and community-held knowledge in the service of social justice".

Does this clause exclude the the grant from being reportable since the grantor receives license to the work? Does it matter that the license may only be used to further the Grantor's charitable mission?

Thank you for your thoughts on this!

Thank you, John for your feedback. After posting my question I continued researching and pulled up the following from the CASE Global Reporting Standards:
