-PREAMBLE
-This “Big Innovation Research and Development Lab - Artificial Intelligence Research License'' was produced by BirdL, a leader in immersive experiences using artificial intelligence. BirdL is dedicated to enabling an open access Metaverse with a priority on enabling open science and reproducibility. BirdL uses learning based Models which aren’t free of unethical consequences. This license aims to mitigate these concerns. Source Code, Models, and other Artifacts are under specific license terms which will be stated individually throughout this document.
-
-
-This license strives to enable open access to Immersive Experiences and research Artifacts. When it comes to the open character, we took inspiration from other open source permissive licenses regarding the grant of IP Rights. We have added use-based restrictions to each section regarding an Artifact or type of Artifact to ensure the responsible usage of these tools. The licensor may enforce the license when potential misuse of this technology occurs. 
-
-
-Even though derivative versions of these Artifacts could be released under different licensing terms, the latter will always have to include at minimum 
-* The same use-based restrictions as the ones in the original license for the relevant Artifact type.
-
-
-We still strive to promote open and responsible research on generative models and will continue to work towards an appropriate balance allowing responsible development of Immersive Experiences while accounting for potential misuse of this technology and other Artifacts that come out of its development.
-
-
-NOW THEREFORE, You and Licensor agree as follows:
-
-
-* “License” means the terms and conditions for use, reproduction. And Distribution as defined in this document.
-* “Artifact” a production (Source Code, Immersive Experiences, Models, Etc.) made by the Licensor or related entities under this License.
-* “Commercial Usage” an application or usage of any Artifact that generates more than 50,000 USD within a year.
-* “Immersive Experience” a multimedia application utilizing Artificial Intelligence, VR, AR, or other future BirdL technology.
-* “Data” means a collection of information synthesized or collected via internal or external work. “Data” is primarily used for statistics, and teaching Model(s).
-* “Asset” a file classified as a multimedia output including: image, video, music, text, etc.
-* “Output” means the results of operating a Model as embodied in informational content resulting therefrom.
-* “Model” means any accompanying machine-learning based assemblies consisting of learnt weights, parameters, corresponding to the model architecture as embodied in the relevant Complementary Material.
-* “Derivatives of an Artifact” means all modifications to an Artifact that are used by You for any purpose.
-* “Complementary Material” means the accompanying code source code and scripts used to define, run, load, benchmark or evaluate the model, and used to prepare data for training or evolution.  This also includes accompanying documentation, tutorials, examples, etc.
-* “Distribution” means any transmission, reproduction, publication, or other sharing of the Artifact or Derivatives of an Artifact to a Third Party, including hosting services made available by electronic or other remote means - e.g. API-based or web access.
-* “Licensor” means the copyright owner or entity authorized by the copyright owner that is granting the License. This also includes other persons or entities that may have rights in the model and or disturbing the model.
-* “You” (or “Your”) means an individual or Legal Entity exercising permissions granted by this License and/or making use of the Model including in an end-use application - e.g. chatbot, translate, image generator.
-* “User” You or any other person(s) who use any Artifact for any purpose.
-* “Third Parties”  means individuals that are not under common control with Licensor or You.
-* “Contribution” means any work of authorship regarding the creation of this Model that is intentionally submitted to the Licensor for inclusion in the Model.
