Subject: Commercial Use and Licensing Clarification for CLIP ViT-B/32 ONNX Conversion

#75

Hello OpenAI Team,

We are developing BAZZO, a commercial e-commerce marketplace, and plan to use openai/clip-vit-base-patch32 for image similarity search.

The ONNX Community maintainer has confirmed that onnx-community/clip-vit-base-patch32-ONNX was converted directly from the original OpenAI model without modifying the pretrained weights.

Before deploying it in production, we would appreciate clarification on the following:

  1. Can the original pretrained CLIP ViT-B/32 weights and their ONNX conversion be used commercially in an e-commerce application?
  2. Does the MIT license cover the pretrained model weights as well as the source code?
  3. Which copyright, license, and attribution notices must we preserve?
  4. Are there any additional licensing restrictions or requirements for commercial production deployment?

We would appreciate an official licensing reference or confirmation.

Thank you.

BAZZO Team
