Regarding license policy on pre-trained model (Open Model Zoo)

[Choi__Hyunchul]

Hello,

I would like to know that is it OK to use pre-trained model for commercial purpose, such as:

1. Is it OK to use these models as-is in my application for commercial purpose?

2. Is it OK to modify/retrain these models (if there are any means to do that)

Thank you in advance!

Dear Choi, Hyunchul,

For 1) yes it's quite OK to use these models as-is in your application for commercial purpose and   

       2) It is OK to modify/retrain these models (if there are any means to do that) -- by retraining, I am assuming with your own data set, and yes, this is permitted.

Please have a look at the Terms of Service Document where the intel models are freely downloadable from the below location:

Hopefully it helps.

Thanks !
