generation techniques, in order to replicate, approximate, or otherwise achieve functional behavior
that is similar to the Model.
"Distribution" (or "Distribute")
means any transmission, publication, public performance, sharing, or other methods of making the
Licensed Materials, Derivative Materials and/or Output available to a third party, including
providing the Licensed Materials or any part thereof as a hosted service or remotely accessible
