| # Section I: PREAMBLE | |
| Multimodal generative models are being widely adopted and used, and have the potential to transform the way artists, among other individuals, conceive and benefit from AI or ML technologies as a tool for content creation. | |
| Notwithstanding the current and potential benefits that these artifacts can bring to society at large, there are also concerns about potential misuses of them, either due to their technical limitations or ethical considerations. | |
| In short, this license strives for the open, responsible, **AND LIBERTARIAN** downstream use of the accompanying model. When it comes to the open character, we took inspiration from open source permissive licenses regarding the grant of IP rights. Referring to the downstream responsible use, we added use-based restrictions not permitting the use of the Model in very specific scenarios, in order for the licensor to be able to enforce the license in case potential misuses of the Model may occur. At the same time, we strive to promote open and responsible research on generative models for art and content generation. <u>Be aware that both points are interpreted and reconsidered under a libertarian point of view, compared to the original CreativeML Open RAIL-M license.</u> | |
| Even though downstream derivative versions of the model could be released under different licensing terms, the latter will always have to include - at minimum - the same use-based restrictions <u>and the same open permissions</u> as the ones in the original license (this license). We believe in the intersection between open and responsible AI development; thus, this License aims to strike a balance between both in order to enable responsible open-science in the field of AI. | |
| This License governs the use of the model (and its derivatives) and is informed by the model card associated with the model. | |
| NOW THEREFORE, You and Licensor agree as follows: | |
| 1. Definitions | |
| <u>Same as the original CreativeML Open RAIL-M license (the version of [commit hash:2f3698d09ceb9ff046d11f6ec4ac42269c44267e](https://huggingface.co/spaces/CompVis/stable-diffusion-license/commit/2f3698d09ceb9ff046d11f6ec4ac42269c44267e#d2h-177213), unless otherwise noted).</u> | |
| # Section II: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS | |
| <u>Same as the original CreativeML Open RAIL-M license.</u> | |
| # Section III: CONDITIONS OF USAGE, DISTRIBUTION AND REDISTRIBUTION | |
| 4. <u>Same as the original CreativeML Open RAIL-M license.</u> | |
| 5. <u>Same as the original CreativeML Open RAIL-M license.</u> | |
| 6. The Output You Generate. <u>Including</u> as set forth herein, Licensor claims no rights in the Output You generate using the Model. You are accountable for the Output You generate, and <u>any users including but not limited to You are accountable for its own subsequent uses</u>. No use of the Output can contravene any provision as stated in the License. | |
| **The Output You Generate by the Model, Derivatives of the Model and Complementary Material must be distributed and redistibuted under Public Domain (CC0 1.0). Restricting others' use is not part of Your "use."** | |
| As for the derivatives of the Output, You or any user may claim under Your or their jurisdiction law and regulation. **However, note that claiming the copyright on the Output itself by hiding the model You generated the Output is against the license.** | |
| # Section IV: OTHER PROVISIONS | |
| <u>Same as the original CreativeML Open RAIL-M license.</u> | |
| END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
| # Attachment A | |
| ## Use Restrictions | |
| - <u>Same as the original CreativeML Open RAIL-M license.</u> | |
| - **However, the Licensor judge violation of law or regulation by and only by conviction per the presumption of innocence.** |
