copy in `code/downstream/upstream_molas/` each retain their supplied MolAS MIT
license and copyright notice. Those terms apply to the covered software. The
supplied NeurIPS style retains its original notices. Existing third-party
components retain their applicable terms.

limits. This confirmation does not assign a new blanket dataset license or
replace component-specific terms.
