Licensed Artifact(s):
- Data
NOTE: The primary difference between a RAIL and OpenRAIL license is that
the RAIL license does not require the licensee to have royalty-free use
of the relevant artifact(s), nor does the RAIL license necessarily
permit modifications to the artifact(s). Both RAIL and OpenRAIL licenses
include use restrictions prohibiting certain uses of the licensed
artifact(s).
Section I: PREAMBLE
This RAIL License is generally applicable to the Artifact(s) identified
above.
For valuable consideration, You and Licensor agree as follows:

(b) “Contribution” means any work, including any modifications or
additions to an Artifact, that is intentionally submitted to
Licensor for inclusion or incorporation in the Artifact directly or
indirectly by the rights 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,
sharing and improving the Artifact, but excluding communication that
is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by the
contributor as “Not a Contribution.”
(c) “Contributor” means Licensor or any other individual or legal entity
that creates or owns a Contribution that is added to or incorporated
into an Artifact.
(d) “Data” means a collection of information and/or content extracted
from the dataset used to train, pretrain, or otherwise evaluate machine‑learning systems.
(e) “Derivative” means a work derived from or based upon an Artifact,
and includes all modified versions of such Artifact.
(f) “Harm” includes but is not limited to physical, mental,
psychological, financial and reputational damage, pain, or loss.
(g) “License” means the terms and conditions for use, reproduction, and
Distribution as defined in this document.
(h) “Licensor” means the rights owner (by virtue of creation or
documented transfer of ownership) or entity authorized by the rights
owner (e.g., exclusive licensee) that is granting the rights in this
License.
(i) “Output” means the results of operating a Model as embodied in
informational content resulting therefrom.
(j) “Third Parties” means individuals or legal entities that are not
under common control with Licensor or You.
(k) “Use” includes accessing and utilizing an Artifact, and may, in
connection with a Model, also include creating content, fine-tuning,
updating, running, training, evaluating and/or re-parametrizing such
Model.
(l) “You” (or “Your”) means an individual or legal entity receiving and
exercising permissions granted by this License and/or making use of
the Artifact for permitted purposes and in any permitted field of
use, including usage of the Artifact in an end-use application -
e.g. chatbot, translator, image generator, etc.
Section II: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
Both copyright and patent grants may apply to the Artifact. The Artifact
is subject to additional terms as described in Section III below, which
govern the use of the Artifact in the event that Section II is held
unenforceable or inapplicable.
2. Grant of Copyright License. Conditioned upon compliance with Section
III below and subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each
Contributor hereby grants to You a worldwide, non-exclusive,
royalty-free copyright license to reproduce (for internal purposes),
use, publicly display, and publicly perform the Artifact.
3. Grant of Patent License. Conditioned upon compliance with Section III
below and subject to the terms and conditions of this License, and only
where and as applicable, each Contributor hereby grants to You a
worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in
this paragraph) patent license to make, use, sell, offer to sell, and
import the Artifact 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 Artifact 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 Artifact and/or a
Contribution incorporated within the Artifact constitutes direct or
contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to
You under this License in connection with the Artifact shall terminate
as of the date such litigation is asserted or filed.
Licensor and Contributor each have the right to grant the licenses
above.
Section III: CONDITIONS OF USAGE, DISTRIBUTION AND REDISTRIBUTION
4. Use-based restrictions. The restrictions set forth in Attachment A
are mandatory Use-based restrictions. Therefore You cannot Use the
Artifact in violation of such restrictions. You may distribute the Artifact,
provided it remains unmodified in content and is accompanied by this License;
you may create filtered or subset selections for analytical purposes,
but you must not alter, rewrite, or remove any individual Question‑and‑Answer pair.
5. Commercial‑Use Donation Requirement. Commercial use of the Artifact
is permitted only after the licensee donates a sum of not less than
USD 100 (one hundred United States dollars) to the CCC Foundation’s
mental‑health helpline via https://1333.lk/donations. The licensee must
e‑mail proof of this donation (receipt or confirmation) to [email protected]
within thirty (30) days before, or no later than thirty (30) days after,
the commencement of any commercial deployment. Failure to provide such proof
automatically terminates commercial‑use rights under this License.
6. The Output You Generate. Except as set forth herein, Licensor claims
no rights in the Output You generate using an Artifact. If the Artifact
is a Model, You are accountable for the Output You generate and its
subsequent uses, and no use of the Output can contravene any provision
as stated in this License.

use of Licensors’ trademarks, trade names, logos or to otherwise suggest
endorsement or misrepresent the relationship between the parties; and
any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by the Licensors.

to in writing, Licensor provides the Artifact (and each Contributor
provides its Contributions) on an “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without

consequential damages of any character arising as a result of this

failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or
losses), even if such Contributor has been advised of the possibility of
such damages.
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.
13. Term and Termination. The term of this License will commence upon
the earlier of (a) Your acceptance of this License or (b) accessing the
Artifact; and will continue in full force and effect until terminated in
accordance with the terms and conditions herein. Licensor may terminate
