in (no restrictions on use, gives broad permission for things we never imagined, like training models), compressed via a training process, and then Responsible AI Model (use restrictions) out.

Arguably it has some better properties than a model that is only available via an API, which *also* likely comes with acceptable use policies in a user agreement.

Personally, I'd prefer laws instead of licenses / contracts.

TwitterBigCode on Twitter“The SantaCoder models are licensed under an open & responsible AI license (OpenRAIL). These are AI-specific licenses enabling free use and distribution of the model while setting specific use restrictions (e.g. malware generation). cc @ResponsibleAIL FAQ: https://t.co/7Jocj6XZ1X”

For such a new license, -M already has many variations in released artifacts. There's the OpenRAIL-M with upgrade requirements, originally used for 1.4 and 1.5, then OpenRail++-M used for StableDiffusion 2.0.

Now the "CodeML Open RAIL-M v0.1 License".

License Proliferation (e.g., ⬇️ from @sogrady) has been a real problem for the and software community, especially in remixing components with mutually incompatible terms.

tecosystemsGoogle Code vs License ProliferationOk, so the answer to the question of why is license proliferation. I’m a bit dubious, as I think the prohibition of AGPL licenses for one is about more than preventing license proliferation – which I’m fine with, candidly, I’d just like to see the reasoning stated more clearly – but let’s go with it.

I'll need to diff this new version when I'm on a proper computer, unless @luis_in_brief (who is credited in the paper as contributing to the model license) can summarize the differences in tradition. 😉

@luis_in_brief an aside: there's a now license naming conflict in my brain... Before these AI / ML model licenses emerged, my brain mapped "model license" to "this is a license that models good practices", like the Blue Oak Model License in particular.

What's up with the numbering in this license?

Oh. The .txt version has different identifiers than all the others.

I suppose I'll do a comparison form the Word doc, rather than the plain text.

@msw you can file an issue you know ;)

@luis_in_brief I'm doing that. Just got interrupted before hitting "submit".

@luis_in_brief There are some changes in Section II: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS in this "CodeML Open RAIL-M v0.1 License" when compared to:

- "CreativeML Open RAIL-M++" dated November 24, 2022 or
- "CreativeML Open RAIL-M" license dated August 22, 2022, or
- "BigScience Open RAIL-M License" dated August 18, 2022, or
- "BigScience RAIL License v1.0" dated May 19, 2022.

A side-by-side comparison of CreativeML Open RAIL-M dated August 22, 2022 and CodeML Open RAIL-M v0.1 License dated dated 22 December 2022 The CreativeML license says: 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. The CodeML license says: Both copyright and patent grants apply to the Model and Derivatives of the Model. The Model and Derivatives of the Model are subject to additional terms as described in Section III, which shall govern the use of the Model and Derivatives of the Model even in the event Section II is held unenforceable.

@luis_in_brief The definition of "Licensor" has changed. CodeML Open RAIL-M is on the right.

CreativeML - "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. CodeML - "Licensor" means the rights owner or entity authorized by the rights owner that is granting the License, including the persons or entities that may have rights in the Model and/or distributing the Model.

What other RAILs are out there?

Since the release of the BLOOM RAIL license in May 2022, there has been a proliferation of RAILs based on either the structure and content of the latter or just the aim of promoting responsible use of ML models, as Meta does with its licenses for OPT-175, BB3, SEER. Other RAIL licenses based on the BLOOM RAIL have been released, such as BigScience OpenRAIL-M, CreativeML OpenRAIL-M, SIL RAIL-M 1.0, and OpenRAIL++M."

That's... a lot.

BigCodeThe Model LicenseWe are releasing the first set of BigCode models, which are going to be licensed under the CodeML OpenRAIL-M 0.1 license, as we initially stated here and in our membership form. The CodeML OpenRAIL-M 0.1 is an interim version of the license that is being drafted for the release of BigCode in March 2023. This license is an open and responsible AI license (OpenRAIL). What is an OpenRAIL license? # Open Responsible AI Licenses (OpenRAIL) are licenses designed to permit free and open access, re-use, and downstream distribution of derivatives of AI artifacts, for research, commercial or non-commercial purposes, as long as the use restrictions present in the license always apply (including to derivative works).
