JOA Model License, version 1.0

Status: in effect from 24 October 2026. This licence governs the model weights published in this repository.

Licensor: Loukas Tzekos, trading as Job Opportunities API (JOA), sole proprietorship, Didaskalisis Papathanasiou Vas. 79, 54629 Thessaloniki, Greece, VAT EL117613696. Legal matters: luca@tzekos.eu.

"The Model" means the weights and adapters of JOA Small (and of JOA Small, JOA Advance and JOA Deep generally) as released by the Licensor, and any files released with them. "Derivative" means any model or adapter made from the Model, for example by fine-tuning, merging, quantising or distillation.

1. What you may do

You may use, copy, modify, fine-tune, merge, quantise, distribute and sell the Model and Derivatives, and use them in any product or service, including commercial and hosted services. The licence is free of charge, worldwide, non-exclusive and lasts as long as the rights it covers.

2. Conditions

These conditions apply when you distribute the Model or a Derivative, or make a product or service that uses them available to anyone outside your own organisation (including through an app, website or hosted API). Purely internal use has no conditions beyond sections 2.4 and 3.

  1. Keep the base model's licence. The Model is built on a base model licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. Include that licence and any copyright and NOTICE text of the base model, and state that the weights were modified. Nothing in this licence limits the rights you have in the base model itself, obtained from its publisher, under its own licence.
  2. Give visible credit. Display the line "Built with JOA Small by Job Opportunities API" with a link to https://jobopportunitiesapi.org, where users of your product or service can see it: in its documentation, its about page or its user interface. If you publish a Derivative, put the same line and link in its model card or README.
  3. Pass this licence on. Include a copy of this licence with every copy of the Model or a Derivative you distribute. You may license your own changes on your own terms, but these conditions continue to apply to the parts that come from the Model.
  4. No implied endorsement. You may say that your work is based on JOA Small. Do not name or present it in a way that suggests Job Opportunities API, IBM, Alibaba Cloud or the Qwen team made, endorse or support it. This licence grants no trademark rights.

3. Outputs

What you generate with the Model is yours. This licence puts no conditions on outputs.

4. Ending and restoring the licence

If you break a condition, your rights under this licence end automatically. They come back if you fix the breach within 30 days of becoming aware of it.

5. No warranty

The Model is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, the Licensor is not liable for any damage arising from its use.

6. Law

This licence is governed by Greek law. This does not remove any rights consumers have under the law of their own country.
