+Section I: PREAMBLE
+
+Multimodal generative models are being widely adopted and used, and
+have the potential to transform the way artists, among other
+individuals, conceive and benefit from AI or ML technologies as a tool
+for content creation.
+
+Notwithstanding the current and potential benefits that these
+artifacts can bring to society at large, there are also concerns about
+potential misuses of them, either due to their technical limitations
+or ethical considerations.
+
+In short, this license strives for both the open and responsible
+downstream use of the accompanying model. When it comes to the open
+character, we took inspiration from open source permissive licenses
+regarding the grant of IP rights. Referring to the downstream
+responsible use, we added use-based restrictions not permitting the
+use of the Model in very specific scenarios, in order for the licensor
+to be able to enforce the license in case potential misuses of the
+Model may occur. At the same time, we strive to promote open and
+responsible research on generative models for art and content
+generation.
+
+Even though downstream derivative versions of the model could be
+released under different licensing terms, the latter will always have
+to include - at minimum - the same use-based restrictions as the ones
+in the original license (this license). We believe in the intersection
+between open and responsible AI development; thus, this License aims
+to strike a balance between both in order to enable responsible
+open-science in the field of AI.
+
+This License governs the use of the model (and its derivatives) and is
+informed by the model card associated with the model.
+
+NOW THEREFORE, You and Licensor agree as follows:
+
+1. Definitions
+
+- "License" means the terms and conditions for use, reproduction, and
+  Distribution as defined in this document.
+
+- "Data" means a collection of information and/or content extracted
+  from the dataset used with the Model, including to train, pretrain,
+  or otherwise evaluate the Model. The Data is not licensed under this
+  License.
+
+- "Output" means the results of operating a Model as embodied in
+  informational content resulting therefrom.
+
+- "Model" means any accompanying machine-learning based assemblies
+  (including checkpoints), consisting of learnt weights, parameters
+  (including optimizer states), corresponding to the model
+  architecture as embodied in the Complementary Material, that have
+  been trained or tuned, in whole or in part on the Data, using the
+  Complementary Material.
+
+- "Derivatives of the Model" means all modifications to the Model,
+  works based on the Model, or any other model which is created or
+  initialized by transfer of patterns of the weights, parameters,
+  activations or output of the Model, to the other model, in order to
+  cause the other model to perform similarly to the Model, including -
+  but not limited to - distillation methods entailing the use of
+  intermediate data representations or methods based on the generation
+  of synthetic data by the Model for training the other model.
+
+- "Complementary Material" means the accompanying source code and
+  scripts used to define, run, load, benchmark or evaluate the Model,
+  and used to prepare data for training or evaluation, if any. This
+  includes any accompanying documentation, tutorials, examples, etc,
+  if any.
+
+- "Distribution" means any transmission, reproduction, publication or
+  other sharing of the Model or Derivatives of the Model to a third
+  party, including providing the Model as a hosted service made
+  available by electronic or other remote means - e.g. API-based or
+  web access.
+
+- "Licensor" means the copyright owner or entity authorized by the
+  copyright owner that is granting the License, including the persons
+  or entities that may have rights in the Model and/or distributing
+  the Model.
+
+- "You" (or "Your") means an individual or Legal Entity exercising
+  permissions granted by this License and/or making use of the Model
+  for whichever purpose and in any field of use, including usage of
+  the Model in an end-use application - e.g. chatbot, translator,
+  image generator.
+
+- "Third Parties" means individuals or legal entities that are not
+  under common control with Licensor or You.
+
+- "Contribution" means any work of authorship, including the original
+  version of the Model and any modifications or additions to that
+  Model or Derivatives of the Model thereof, that is intentionally
+  submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Model by the copyright
+  owner or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on
+  behalf of the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition,
+  "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written
+  communication sent to the Licensor or its representatives, including
+  but not limited to communication on electronic mailing lists, source
+  code control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed
+  by, or on behalf of, the Licensor for the purpose of discussing and
+  improving the Model, but excluding communication that is
+  conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by the
+  copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+- "Contributor" means Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity on
+  behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+  subsequently incorporated within the Model.
+
+Section II: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
+
+Both copyright and patent grants apply to the Model, Derivatives of
+the Model and Complementary Material. The Model and Derivatives of the
+Model are subject to additional terms as described in Section III.
+
+2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+copyright license to reproduce, prepare, publicly display, publicly
+perform, sublicense, and distribute the Complementary Material, the
+Model, and Derivatives of the Model.
+
+3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+this License and where and as applicable, each Contributor hereby
+grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,
+royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this paragraph) patent
+license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and
+otherwise transfer the Model and the Complementary Material, where
+such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by such
+Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s)
+alone or by combination of their Contribution(s) with the Model to
+which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You institute patent
+litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim
+in a lawsuit) alleging that the Model and/or Complementary Material or
+a Contribution incorporated within the Model and/or Complementary
+Material constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then
+any patent licenses granted to You under this License for the Model
+and/or Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is asserted
+or filed.
+
+Section III: CONDITIONS OF USAGE, DISTRIBUTION AND REDISTRIBUTION
+
+4. Distribution and Redistribution. You may host for Third Party
+remote access purposes (e.g. software-as-a-service), reproduce and
+distribute copies of the Model or Derivatives of the Model thereof in
+any medium, with or without modifications, provided that You meet the
+following conditions: Use-based restrictions as referenced in
+paragraph 5 MUST be included as an enforceable provision by You in any

+
+9. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or agreed
+to in writing, Licensor provides the Model and the Complementary
+Material (and each Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS
+IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either
+express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or
+conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR
+A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the

+any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against, such
+Contributor by reason of your accepting any such warranty or
+additional liability.
+
+12. If any provision of this License is held to be invalid, illegal or
+unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be unaffected thereby
+and remain valid as if such provision had not been set forth herein.
