"Derivative Materials" means all improvements, modifications or derivative works to the Licensed Material or any part thereof, which are created or developed by You (either by Yourself or jointly with other third parties), including any derivative model developed by transferring patterns of weights, parameters, activations and/or Output from the Model, such as through distillation methods or synthetic data 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 service, such as API-based access or web access.

The Licensed Materials do not include any datasets used for pretraining, training, adapting, or evaluating the Model, which may or may not be made available under a separate license.

"Model" means the machine-learning constructs and/or assemblies licensed by the Licensor under this License, including any checkpoints, learned weights, parameters (including optimizer states) and the model architecture.

"Output" means any information, data, and/or content, including but not limited to images, text, text effects, audio files, and/or video files, generated through operation of the Model, or through operation of any new model developed by transferring patterns from the Model.

"You" (or "Your") means you, or any other person or entity you are entering into this license on behalf of, provided you have the legal authority to bind such person or entity.
