Confusing license terms

#4
by mradermacher - opened

Hi, the model page (and tags) claim the model is under apache 2.0 license, but then specific usage restrictions ("hate speech") that the apache license does not make (and also does not define what hate speech is). Could you clarify what license the model data is supposed to be under? apache 2.0 or a custom license with extra usage restrictions?

I am not asking because I want to use it for hate speech, no matter how that is defined, btw. :)

Sorry for not making it clear! We are mostly just warning people not to use this model for hate speech, and we will take no credit if you use it for such. It's not a requirement, we just don't want to be body slammed by the US government :)

That is not actually true. The word you are using is "ban", in the section called "Banned usage". That is much stronger than a mere warning or requirement. If your intent is as you say (apache 2.0, no further restrictions), you should not state something completely different in the model page. The US government is not the law, and the US is not the world, either, btw.
