Question about license of layoutlmv2/v3

Open icedream2 opened this issue 2 years ago • 8 comments

I noticed that the licenses of layoutlmv2/v3 were changed back to a non-commercial-used license, but the source code of layoutlmv3 is under apache-2.0. Does it mean that I can use the souce code to train a new pretrain model using our own data for commercial use?

BTW, is there any plan to change the license into a permissive one?

All pre-trained LayoutLMv2/v3 models are currently under a non-commercial license. No other constraints.

Just to make sure we got it right - v2/v3 models weights are under non-commercial license. Code is under apache??

yes, the non-commercial license is on the models.

Can a fine-tuned model on custom dataset with different weights be used for commercial purpose?

So does that mean I can use the code but not the trained model? If I fine-tune it on my own data and use it for commercial use would that be ok?

Would like to know the answer to this too

yes, the non-commercial license is on the models.

Could you please clarify what you mean by "models"? I interpret that to mean pre-trained model weights are under non-commercial use license while using the code to train my own model weights would be permissible for commercial purposes under Apache license, correct?
