They had this on here since day 1 of the block. This is just Openclaw saying "if you run Openclaw inside Claude Code, it's compliant with the Anthropic ToS", because, well, it's literally running inside Claude Code.

What's not allowed is grabbing the oauth tokens and using these for your own custom agent, which is what was (and still is) banned.

Nothing has changed, this appears to just be a giant misunderstanding (and probably a poor choice of words from Openclaw).

But there was a period of time when using Openclaw via Claude Code (via -p) was not allowed and it even gave an error message in that case. That's why people find the constantly changing messaging confusing.

That's how I took that; if I installed CC and worked in CC to modify OC, all good. If I ran the openclaw gateway itself with a CC oauth key, my bad.
