+LoRA/QLoRA weights, that is substantially derived from the Model.
+
+1.4 "Noncommercial Purpose" means use solely for personal study, private experimentation,
+academic research, scientific publication, teaching, noncommercial internal evaluation,

+
+(a) access, download, and use the Model;
+(b) reproduce the Model for Noncommercial Purposes;
+(c) fine-tune, quantize, evaluate, benchmark, and create Derivative Models for
+    Noncommercial Purposes;

+Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, the Model and any Derivative Model

+
+For avoidance of doubt:
+
+(a) government use is not deemed "noncommercial" under this License;
+(b) public funding, public mission, academic status, scientific purpose, or non-profit
+    status do not create an exception to this prohibition where a Government Entity
+    is involved; and
+(c) any access, evaluation, pilot, procurement test, production use, or integration
+    involving a Government Entity requires a separate written commercial or institutional
+    license from the Licensor.
+
+5. Commercial Use Requires Separate License
+
+Any Commercial Use of the Model or any Derivative Model requires a separate written
+license from the Licensor.
+

+10.2 Independent Use by Licensee
+
+Any use of the Model, software, weights, checkpoints, tokenizer files, outputs,

+If Your use of the Model, software, weights, or artifacts involves personal data,

+operator, or analogous relationship between the Licensor and You.
+
+10.5 No Authorization for Unlawful Data Use
+
+Nothing in this License authorizes You to input, process, transmit, or otherwise
+use personal data unlawfully, nor does this License shift to the Licensor any
+responsibility arising from Your independent processing activities.
+
+11. Patent License
+
+Subject to Your compliance with this License, the Licensor grants You a limited,
+non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable patent license, solely to the

+in the Model infringes a patent, any patent license granted to You under this License
+terminates automatically as of the filing date of such claim.
+

+THE MODEL IS PROVIDED "AS IS", "WITH ALL FAULTS", AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND,
+WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY
