Permission to use chessai-data for training an on-device model in a mobile app

Hi Viet-Anh, thank you for publishing chessai-data — it's one of the very few real-photo Xiangqi datasets available, and the annotations are excellent.
I'm an independent developer of a Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) app on the App Store. I'd like to use this dataset, together with several CC BY 4.0 datasets, to train a small on-device piece classifier (MobileNetV3, ~4 MB) so users can recognise a board position from a photo. Only the trained model weights would ship inside the app; neither the images nor the annotations would be redistributed.
The dataset card doesn't state a license, so I wanted to ask before shipping:
- Would you allow this use (training a model that ships in a commercial app)? If you're open to adding a license to the card, e.g. CC BY 4.0, that would make it clear for everyone.
- How would you like to be credited? I currently list "Viet-Anh Nguyen — vietanhdev/chessai-data" on the app's open-source acknowledgements page.
- Were the images collected by you, or partly gathered from the web? I'd like to understand the provenance so I can respect the original photographers' rights.
Thanks again for sharing this work!
