[License-discuss] A new kind of badgeware license?

[Moming Duan]

I agree with Richard and share concerns about the phrase "is used for." For example, if I simply use Kimi to clean a dataset that is then used to train my own model, does that fall within the scope of this term? On another note, what exactly constitutes "derivative works" in the context of this license? And how are "monthly active users" calculated, especially considering the license allows sublicensing? There’s a lot of ambiguity here.

Personally, I’m uncomfortable with the growing trend of modified OSS licenses being adapted for model publishing. It’s creating a quagmire of legal noncompliance.

FYI, there are other "modified MIT License" as well:
GPT-2: https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/blob/master/LICENSE
PuHui OCR: https://huggingface.co/puhuilab/PHOCR/blob/main/LICENSE


Best,
Moming
