Keep the license with the deployment record

An original inventory should record the model, version, license file, and any separate terms for data or code. Keep that record with the deployment so later upgrades do not silently change the terms you reviewed.

Get qualified interpretation for important restrictions

This is an operational checklist, not legal advice about a particular license. If a restriction affects your intended commercial use or distribution, obtain a qualified interpretation rather than guessing from the model name.

THE TAKEAWAY

What to remember

Recheck terms when upgrading.
