Important

This agreement was DRAFTED BY A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER based on his past experiences with productization, legal documents processing, and legal knowledge.

Please NEVER ASSUME. CONSULT AN ATTORNEY/LAWYER AND MODIFY THE TEMPLATE to your exact needs. 

A published baseline model release agreement for quick release a model from a multimedia content (e.g. person or pet in an image or a video). This version is setting both the owner and releaser agreed on a zero cost and with the sole purpose of releasing no additional terms.

This is a continuous research project's bi-product usable to anyone and everyone for both personal and commercial uses.





Why It Is Required


The project was initiated mainly for:



Most legal documents are too specific (e.g. applied to software but not images and vice versa) making a lot of product-based project inheriting mulitple licenses; AND

Some legal documents communities are too dramatic for queries; AND

Most legal documents are written in legal-specific languages only lawyer can understand rather than written in simple native language comprehensible by everyone; AND

A lot of legal documents cannot be iteratively improved with respect to time and market conditions.




Version Controlled


This legal document is version controlled using semantic versioning defined as follows:



MAJOR number - denotes major non-backward compatible changes; AND

MINOR number - denotes major backward compatible changes including without limited to grammar corrections, fonts, typo, and etc; AND

PATCH number - denotes minor backward comaptible changes including without limited to updating repository README.md, changes of publication system, and etc.


By default, this document is designed to ALWAYS USE THE LATEST AND GREATEST. For any project repository, you only need to include the notice as its legal document into your repository (e.g. as LICENSE.txt).

If your project repository requires only a specific version, THEN YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THAT VERSION FULL DOCUMENT AND INCLUDE THE NOTICE (e.g. as LICENSE.txt).

Artificial Intelligence (A.I) Decrees


This project deploys the use of one or more generative artificial intelligence such as but not limited to large language model (LLM) for the following tasks:



Data Sourcing




Note



Performing enhanced web searches due to polluted search engine indexes.

Performing completely generated media such as but not limited to images, videos, and audios.





Used for data and reading material searching as the search engine across the Internet had collapsed due to A.I publication slops.

Used for grammar and language correction detection on the human-made written script.




Data Processing & Analytics




Note



Performing development via multi-steps queries (also known as vibe coding or agentic AI processing).

Performing data analytics via multi-steps queries (also known as vibe coding or AI vibing).

Performing dedicated and task specific work where conventional technologies could not achieve such as but not limited to upscaling an image verbatim.



No deployment.



Data Testing




Note



Performing end-user use case simulated testings.



No deployment.



Data Visualization




Note



Performing completely generated data visualization via multi-step queries (also known as vibe coding).



No deployment.



Data Archiving & Deletion
