| # Fair AI Public License 1.0-SD | |
| Published by the [Freedom of Development Project](https://freedevproject.org). | |
| *This "SD variant" license contains a [Prohibited Uses](#prohibited-uses) | |
| section designed to be compatible with Stable Diffusion's license. Because of | |
| that section, this is not a free software license. Unless you are releasing a | |
| derivative of a Stable Diffusion model, it is not recommended that you use this | |
| license.* | |
| *This license comes with special requirements if you intend to allow users | |
| to access this software over a network. See [Notices](#notices) for more | |
| information.* | |
| ## Purpose | |
| This license gives everyone as much permission to work with this software as | |
| possible, while protecting contributors from liability, protecting the | |
| freedom of end users, and reducing harm. | |
| ## Definitions | |
| In this license, "model" refers to machine learning model weights, biases, | |
| parameters, optimizer states, and any byproducts of a training or pretraining | |
| process, whether in the form of checkpoints or any other form. | |
| The term "derived model" refers to any model based on this model. | |
| The term "software" also refers to any model along with documentation or | |
| other resources provided with the software. | |
| The term "source code" refers to the preferred form of making modifications | |
| to software. It also includes any models, if applicable, but it does not | |
| include any datasets used to train a model. | |
| To "modify" also means to perform any training on a model or to combine a | |
| model with another model. | |
| ## Acceptance | |
| In order to receive this license, you must agree to its rules. The rules of | |
| this license are both obligations under that agreement and conditions to your | |
| license. You must not do anything with this software that triggers a rule that | |
| you cannot or will not follow. If you do not agree, then you cannot use this | |
| software in any way. | |
| ## Copyright | |
| Each contributor licenses you to do everything with this software that would | |
| otherwise infringe that contributor's copyright in it. | |
| ## Freedom | |
| Neither this software nor any work that is combined with this software will be | |
| considered a technological protection measure under the WIPO Copyright Treaty | |
| or any similar law. Reverse engineering of this software and of any work that | |
| is combined with this software is always allowed. | |
| ## Notices | |
| You must ensure that everyone who gets a copy of any part of this software from | |
| you, with or without changes, also gets the text of this license along with | |
| the corresponding source code. | |
| If you modify this software and allow users to interact with it through a | |
| computer network, you must ensure they have a reasonable way to receive the | |
| corresponding source code from you, whether that is via a download link or a | |
| prominent written offer. As a special case, if you are only allowing users to | |
| interact with a derived model, then you may choose to provide a download link | |
| or written offer only for the derived model. | |
| This software, all source code, and all modifications must be provided under | |
| this license or another license that allows everything this license allows. | |
| Note that this does not give you permission to change the license for this | |
| software. | |
| ## Excuse | |
| If anyone notifies you in writing that you have not complied with | |
| [Notices](#notices), you can keep your license by taking all practical steps | |
| to comply within 30 days after the notice. If you do not do so, your license | |
| ends immediately. | |
| ## Output | |
| The output of this software is not covered by this license, and no contributor | |
| claims any rights to it. | |
| ## Patent | |
| Each contributor licenses you to do everything with this software that would | |
| otherwise infringe any patent claims they can license or become able to license. | |
| ## Reliability | |
| No contributor can revoke this license. | |
| ## Alternatives | |
| You can also use any non-model parts of this software under the terms of the | |
| GNU AGPL 3.0, or any later version of that license. If you do, | |
| [No Harm](#no-harm) and [No Liability](#no-liability) still apply. | |
| ## Revisions | |
| The Freedom of Development Project may publish revised or new versions of the | |
| Fair AI Public License. Those new versions will be similar in spirit to this | |
| license. | |
| Unless a contributor specifies otherwise, you have the option of following the | |
| terms of any later version of this license. Your choice to follow a later | |
| version of the license will not impose additional obligations on any | |
| contributor. Even if you do choose to follow a later version, the restrictions | |
| of [Prohibited Uses](#prohibited-uses) will still apply. | |
| ## Survival | |
| The provisions of [No Harm](#no-harm) and [No Liability](#no-liability) survive | |
| the end of your license. | |
| ## No Harm | |
| You agree that no contributor's conduct in the creation of this software has | |
| caused you any harm. As far as the law allows, you give up your right to pursue | |
| any kind of legal claim against any contributor for actions related the | |
| creation of this software, even if those actions broke a previous agreement. | |
| Additionally, you agree not to use this model for harmful purposes, as listed | |
| in [Prohibited Uses](#prohibited-uses). These restrictions do not apply to | |
| non-model parts of this software. | |
| ## No Liability | |

| condition, and no contributor will be liable to anyone for any damages related | |
| to this software or this license, under any kind of legal claim.*** | |
