This just looks like a simple web app wrapper around First Order Model: https://github.com/AliaksandrSiarohin/first-order-model https://github.com/AliaksandrSiarohin/first-order-model The license for the code specifically states "Non-Commercial". Is your code something else? Also seems like you've double posted it. Edit: Your other posts also have a similar look - are you testing the waters for a viable biz model by adding web-app wrappers around ML papers who have published their code on Github? Not being accusatory or anything, just trying to understand.

I am not the OP nor a lawyer, but I believe one can charge for the service provided (the code is running on OPs servers). This should still not violate Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license.

  From this page: https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/NonCommercial_interpretation https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/NonCommercial_interpre... they explain that the NonCommercial part is triggered on use. I believe that the intent is that you can not use the work for commercial advantage or monetary compensation. So if you write a play using CC-NC, it would be against the license to perform that play for money. Similarly, if you have software under CC-NC, it is against the license to use it for the purpose of making money. The problem with NC (IMHO) is that it's too loose. Everything is up to interpretation. It's clear that you don't have a license to use the software, except the CC-NC license, but I think you probably would have to go to court to really determine if the usage was "commercial" or not. For this reason, I won't touch CC-NC works with a 10 foot pole. If you get sued, you are almost certain to go to court. There is probably a good chance that an injunction will be granted while they decide whether or not the usage is "commercial". By the time it's all over, you would have been much better off not using the code. For me, this means that using CC-NC code is pretty much a gamble on whether or not someone will attempt to sue me -- which is pretty darn close to just forgetting about licenses and hoping I don't get sued for infringement.

  I am not the OP nor a lawyer, but this case looks like clear violation of CCNC license, i.e. it's piracy.

  This clearly violates, I will file the lawsuit, get ready to be shredded financially, thief.
