Apple has their own mlmodel format but they can’t distribute this model as a direct download due to the models EULA. The first task is to translate the model.



What part of the SD license prohibits that?


No part of it.


I mean, it is a legal time bomb in general[0], with a non-standard license that has special stipulations in an amendment. Do you really incur the weeks of lead time that it would take Legal to review the legality of redistributing this model?

Redistributing that model to end users that violate Attachment A seems like a minefield.


Not really. You're not responsible for how users use products you distribute. The license is passed along to them, they would be the ones violating it.


Are you an attorney?


No, I'm not. If you have supporting precedent for your position (that a licensor can be held liable for the unpreventable actions of a licensee) I would like to see it.
