Ask HN: Are weights trained from a dataset also under the same license terms?

When you download the weights is it in a github with a LICENCE file or some other agreement? Most likely the reason is yes. If you don't understand I would try to email the person if you can use it.

Companies deal with this probably since they have their own data and probably would either need a custom solution or if it is relatively easy to do they would use a third party. (clarfai).

Not downloaded: "weights we derive."

Subtler question, here.

I feel this question would apply to downloaded weights as well. Because if the license does apply to the weights, whoever put the weights on the github with whatever license, the original license should prevail. Also, if your process requires that you be safe from license restrictions, we'd anyways have to check the original licenses, right?

I agree, as shown elsewhere here, but clarification is still cool. The license is viewable.
