I'm trying to be flippant, but I'm genuinely curious. Have you read their license[1]? The terms are really broad and onerous even if one wants to use it for purely non-commercial, academic purposes.

It's just the RAIL Research-use licenses. Both the Research M and Research S license. https://www.licenses.ai/blog/2023/3/3/ai-pubs-rail-licenses https://www.licenses.ai/blog/2023/3/3/ai-pubs-rail-licenses https://www.licenses.ai/rail-license-generator https://www.licenses.ai/rail-license-generator The intent of the license is to show the techniques used in the project and to provide the results in a form that they can be used to further development of other projects but not be used themselves. The TLDR of the license is "here's the model and the sources. use it to help make your own models but don't use our model directly"

    ResearchRAIL comes in a handful of flavors. ResearchRAIL-M (model) and ResearchRAIL-S (source) are two of the flavors. If you combine them you get ResearchRAIL-MS (model+source). You can make an MS license in their license generator by selecting ResearchRAIL and checking both the model and source buttons.

    It's basically the same license which has AMD's own responsible AI usage policy, which is worded differently, but means the same thing basically. The only thing you might pick on AMDs one is "no obfuscation" clause which is not controversial at all. (Yes, I diffed with a self-generated RAIL-MS license).

> Have you read their license[1]? Yes. > The terms are really broad and onerous even if one wants to use it for purely non-commercial, academic purposes. No. It's just legalese to prevent commercial use, abuse of models and prevention of responsibility. As a person who sits in an academic research center, I see no problems at first blush.
