License and commercial-use clarification for Arabic OCR training
#2
by ahmed-sayed-Ocr - opened
Hello,
I am working on an Arabic OCR research and development project and would like to use the "mssqpi/Arabic-OCR-Dataset", including its approximately 2.16 million labeled image-text samples.
The dataset page currently does not appear to specify a license. Could you please confirm whether the complete dataset may be used for the following purposes?
- Training and fine-tuning Arabic OCR models.
- Research and evaluation.
- Commercial use of the resulting models or services.
- Modifying, augmenting, rendering, or applying synthetic degradation to the samples.
- Publishing trained model weights, checkpoints, adapters, or LoRA weights.
- Creating and distributing derived datasets without redistributing the original samples unchanged.
Could you also clarify:
- The license that applies to the dataset.
- The original sources of the images and text.
- Whether all samples are created or owned by you, or whether any samples originate from third-party datasets.
- The required attribution or citation.
A clear written confirmation here would allow us to record the permission with the dataset documentation.
Thank you.
