Licensing

As usual, modified licenses create confusion.

We don’t claim ownership of the content you create with the DALL-E discrete VAE, so it is yours to do with as you please. We only ask that you use the model responsibly and clearly indicate that it was used.

The first sentence seem to be reasonable and although probably not needed it's nice that it's being clarified.

As for using the model "responsibly" and "clearly indicate that it was used" it's not at all clear to me.

Is it meant as a condition? If so, with what legal basis (since no derived work is being made or distributed)? If it is a condition, that's quite unfortunate, since it makes it both non-free and incompatible with every copyleft license, but it's legitimate, of course. Just a bit unfortunate. Is it just a kind request? If so, it really really really does not belong in a license.

Where can that language regarding licensing be found by the way?

In the LICENSE file.
