License Compliance with AGPL Dependency

Open NADOOITChristophBa opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

It has come to our attention that the OmniParser project uses a dependency, ultralytics, which is licensed under the AGPL. This license requires that any software linking to it must also be released under the AGPL if distributed. As a result, the current licensing of OmniParser may need to be updated to comply with AGPL requirements.

Please review the licensing terms and consider the implications for the project. If AGPL compliance is not intended, exploring alternative dependencies with more permissive licenses might be necessary.

Thank you for addressing this concern.

Just saw the hint in the README. But is only the model and not the code under AGPL?

Hi @NADOOITChristophBa ,

In my opinion, if OmniParser can be delivered without being tightly coupled to icon_detect (which is based on YOLO), then it shouldn't be subject to AGPL. In fact, they did evaluate OmniParser using other detectors e.g. raw Grounding DINO model in their paper.

Simply put, I see OmniParser as a solution that integrates fine-tuned object detection, OCR, and captioning models to enhance the outcome of tasks like GUI traversal.
