[Legal question] Is it legal to use pre-trained models from the model zoo for commercial purposes?
I see discussions at
But there is no definitive answer.
Similar question to:
- Google: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/issues/9131
- Facebook: https://github.com/pytorch/vision/issues/2597

OpenVino provides models. What does the legal department at Intel think about pre-trained models provided by OpenVino:
It would be great to see at https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/2019_R1/_docs_Pre_Trained_Models.html
Model A: Apache-2 Model B: CC-BY Model C: GPL
etc
(If all of them Apache-2 it would be great :) )
For sure, it is a problem on the side of the users to decide if they can use for commercial or not, but the message about
model <> license should be more transparent. The fact that there is a License file for Apache 2 in the repo is not enough. At least that is what lawyers that I talk to say.
As I understand:
What is the outbound license for the github repositories of OpenVINO™ toolkit? All content of OpenVINO™ toolkit are distributed under Apache License, Version 2.0
in https://01.org/openvinooolkit/faq
is very close to what will be nice to have.
If there will be a line in FAQ or statement at the page with the list of pre-trained models:
Q: What is the license for pre-trained models? A: The license for all pre-trained models is Apache-2.
It would solve all the issues.
