Version 2.0, Dec 2025
By exercising the rights granted in Section 2.1, You acknowledge and agree that You have

rights under this License.
1. DEFINITIONS
"Complementary Materials" means the source code and scripts used to define, run, load,
benchmark and/or evaluate the Model, and prepare data for the purpose of training, pretraining,
fine-tuning and/or evaluation of the Model, and any tutorials, operating manuals, user guides
and/or documentation that guide users in using, operating, implementing and/or customising
the Model.
"Derivative Materials" means all improvements, modifications or derivative works to the
Licensed Materials or any part thereof that are created or developed by You (either by Yourself
or jointly with other third parties). The Derivative Materials do not include any model
developed by transferring patterns from Output, such as through distillation methods or
synthetic data generation techniques.
"Extracted Models" means any model created or developed by You (either by Yourself or
jointly with other third parties) by transferring patterns from Output of the Model, such as
through distillation methods or synthetic data generation techniques, in order to replicate,
approximate, or otherwise achieve functional behavior that is similar to the Model.
"Distribution" (or "Distribute") means any transmission, publication, sharing, or other methods
of making the Licensed Materials, Derivative Materials, Extracted Models and/or Output
available to a third party, including providing the Licensed Materials or any part thereof as a
hosted service or remotely accessible service, such as API-based access or web access.
"Licensor" means the rights owner that is granting the License.
"Licensed Materials" means the Model and Complementary Materials that are Distributed by
the Licensor under this License. The Licensed Materials do not include any datasets used for
pretraining, training, adapting, or evaluating the Model, which may or may not be made
available under a separate license.
"Model" means the machine-learning constructs and/or assemblies licensed by the Licensor
under this License, including any checkpoints, learned weights, parameters (including optimizer
states) and the model architecture.
"NonCommercial" means not primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage
or monetary compensation.
"Output" means any information, data, and/or content, including but not limited to images, text,
text effects, audio files, and/or video files, generated through operation of the Model.
"You" (or "Your") means you, or any other person or entity you are entering into this license on
behalf of, provided you have the legal authority to bind such person or entity.
