| 1. Definitions |
|
|
| "Model" means the weights, configuration, inference code, tokenizer, processor, |
| and documentation distributed with this license. "Derivative Model" means a |
| modified, fine-tuned, distilled, merged, quantized, or otherwise adapted version |
| of the Model. "You" means the individual or legal entity exercising permissions |
| under this license. "High-Risk Use" means a use that can materially affect a |
| person's safety, liberty, access to essential services, employment, housing, |
| credit, education, legal rights, or medical care, or that controls critical |
| infrastructure, weapons, or large-scale biometric surveillance. |
|
|
| 2. Copyright Grant |
|
|
| Subject to this license, Modilify grants You a worldwide, perpetual, |
| non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to use, reproduce, |
| prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, |
| host as a service, and distribute the Model and Derivative Models, including for |
| commercial purposes. |
|
|
| 3. Patent Grant |
|
|
| Each contributor grants You a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, |
| irrevocable patent license, except as stated in this section, to make, have made, |
| use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Model where the |
| license applies only to those patent claims licensable by that contributor that |
| are necessarily infringed by that contributor's contribution alone or in |
| combination with the Model. If You institute patent litigation alleging that the |
| Model or a contribution constitutes patent infringement, patent licenses granted |
| to You under this license terminate as of the filing date. |
|
|
| 4. Conditions on Redistribution |
|
|
| If You distribute the Model or a Derivative Model, You must: |
|
|
| a. provide recipients a copy of this license; |
| b. retain copyright, patent, attribution, and NOTICE statements; |
| c. state clearly that You modified the Model and identify material modifications; |
| d. preserve applicable third-party license and attribution notices; and |
| e. publish with the distributed model a reasonably accessible impact statement |
| describing intended uses, material limitations, evaluation scope, known |
| safety risks, and risk mitigations for the Derivative Model. |
|
|
| The impact statement may be maintained in a public model card or equivalent |
| document. You are not required to submit it separately to Modilify. |
|
|
| 5. Responsible Use and High-Risk Uses |
|
|
| You must not use the Model or a Derivative Model: |
|
|
| a. to develop, operate, or materially facilitate weapons, autonomous targeting, |
| or systems intended to cause physical harm; |
| b. for unlawful mass surveillance, biometric identification without lawful |
| authority and appropriate safeguards, or social scoring that determines |
| access to rights or essential services; |
| c. to exploit children or vulnerable persons, facilitate human trafficking, or |
| generate non-consensual intimate content; |
| d. to impersonate a person or deceptively represent machine output as an |
| authentic human communication where the deception is reasonably likely to |
| cause material harm; or |
| e. to make a final decision in a High-Risk Use without meaningful qualified |
| human review, proportionate testing, monitoring, appeal or correction paths, |
| and compliance with applicable law. |
|
|
| Before deploying the Model in a High-Risk Use, You must perform safety and impact |
| due diligence proportionate to foreseeable harm. At minimum, document the use |
| context, evaluate relevant failure modes and affected groups, apply reasonable |
| technical and organizational safeguards, monitor material incidents, and update |
| or suspend the deployment when its residual risk is not reasonable. Research, |
| testing, auditing, and defensive safety work are permitted when conducted with |
| appropriate safeguards. |
|
|
| 6. Trademarks |
|
|
| This license does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, |
| service marks, or product names of Modilify or any contributor, except as needed |
| for reasonable and customary attribution or to describe the origin of the Model. |
|
|
| 7. Third-Party Components |
|
|
| The Model includes or derives from third-party components identified in |
| NOTICE.md. Those components remain subject to their applicable |
| licenses and terms. In particular, rights and obligations associated with the |
| Google DiffusionGemma base are not removed, narrowed, or replaced by this |
| license. You are responsible for complying with all applicable upstream terms. |
|
|
| 8. Termination and Reinstatement |
|
|
| Your rights terminate automatically if You materially violate this license and |
| do not cure the violation within 30 days after becoming aware of it. Rights are |
| reinstated upon timely cure unless a rights holder provides written notice of a |
| substantially similar repeated violation. Sections intended by their nature to |
| survive termination remain effective. |
|
|
| 9. Disclaimer of Warranty |
|
|
| THE MODEL IS PROVIDED "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, |
| EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, |
| MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR SAFETY. YOU ARE |
| SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE APPROPRIATENESS OF USING OR REDISTRIBUTING |
| THE MODEL AND ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR EXERCISE OF PERMISSIONS. |
|

|
| TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NO COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR CONTRIBUTOR SHALL |
| BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR |
