Ludwig's WRAP-UP
In summary, while the phrase "is permitted from" appears in various sources, Ludwig AI identifies it as grammatically incorrect. Standard English dictates using "is permitted by" to indicate the source granting permission, or "is permitted to" to indicate who receives permission. Given its incorrectness, it's best to avoid this phrase and opt for grammatically sound alternatives like "is allowed by" or "is granted to" for clear and effective communication. Though present in news and scientific contexts, its incorrect grammar makes it unsuitable for formal usage.
