Fair AI Public License 1.0-SD ============================= Published by the [Freedom of Development Project](https://freedevproject.org). NOTE: This "SD variant" license contains a Prohibited Uses section designed to be compatible with Stable Diffusion's license. Because of that section, this is not a free software license. Unless you are releasing a derivative of a Stable Diffusion model, it is not recommended that you use this license. This license comes with special requirements if you intend to allow users to access this software over a network. See the "Notices" section for more information. Purpose ------- This license gives everyone as much permission to work with this software as possible, while protecting contributors from liability, protecting the freedom of end users, and reducing harm. Definitions ----------- - "model": machine learning model weights, biases, parameters, optimizer states, and any byproducts of a training or pretraining process (checkpoints, etc.). - "derived model": any model based on this model. - "software": any model plus documentation or other resources provided with it. - "source code": the preferred form for making modifications to software. Includes models (if applicable) but excludes training datasets. - "modify": also means performing training on a model or combining models.

If you modify this software and allow network interaction with it, you must provide a reasonable way for users to obtain the corresponding source code (e.g., download link or prominent written offer). Special case: if only a derived model is exposed, you may limit the offer to that derived model. 3. This software, all source code, and all modifications must be provided under this license or another license that permits everything this license allows. You may NOT change the license for this software. Excuse ------ If notified in writing of non-compliance with "Notices", you have 30 days to take all practical steps to comply. Failure to do so ends your license immediately. Output ------ The output of this software is not covered by this license. No contributor claims any rights to it. Patent ------ Each contributor licenses you to do everything with this software that would otherwise infringe any patent claims they can license or become able to license. Reliability ----------- No contributor can revoke this license. Alternatives ------------ You may use any non-model parts of this software under GNU AGPL 3.0 (or later). If you do, the "No Harm" and "No Liability" sections still apply. Revisions --------- The Freedom of Development Project may publish revised versions of this license (similar in spirit). Unless a contributor specifies otherwise, you may choose to follow any later version. Choosing a later version imposes no extra obligations on contributors. The "Prohibited Uses" restrictions always apply. Survival -------- The "No Harm" and "No Liability" provisions survive license termination.
