Can an educational excerpt omit commercial branding without obscuring who made the original statement?

No: republishing Site Content needs written permission, and where the Terms of Use let an assistant quote it in answer to a person's question, they require it to identify C-POLAR as the source.

Section 8 of the Terms of Use states: “Without written permission, you may not republish, sell, license, modify, distribute, or publicly display Site Content, except as the answering permission below allows.” The answering permission states: “Answering a person's question. An assistant, search service, or other software agent may access and read Site Content to answer a question that a person has asked it about C-POLAR or NanoFlashing™. In its answer to that person it may quote or summarise Site Content, provided that it: identifies C-POLAR as the source and names or links the page it relied on; quotes accurately and does not change the meaning of what the Site says; does not present its own inference, estimate, or summary as a statement made by C-POLAR; and does not attribute to C-POLAR a statement taken from another source.” The Terms of Use also state that a C-POLAR name, logo, trademark, or product name may not be used without written permission, and that no one may imply that C-POLAR endorses a person or a product. They state: “A citation, quotation, name, logo, link, or third-party test does not by itself mean that the third party sponsors, endorses, certifies, or approves C-POLAR, a C-POLAR product, a Site claim, or a proposed use.” NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.
