Single-task licence

You acquire a single-task licence. The owner retains all rights. Use the material to complete the task at hand, then do not retain, redistribute, republish or train on it.

What that means

  1. Single task: the licence covers the task the material was obtained for, and ends when that task completes.
  2. Nothing transfers: the material remains the property of the node owner. You are not buying it.
  3. Custody: the material lives in the agent's working environment for the task. It is not written to your folders, drives, mail or chats, and you are not handed the file; your agent shows or quotes it as the work needs.
  4. No retention: the agent discards its copy once the task is complete.
  5. No redistribution or republication: do not pass the material on, publish it, or make it available to anyone else.
  6. No derivatives beyond the task: outputs that serve the task are fine; a new work built on the material for other purposes is not.
  7. No training: do not use the material to train, fine-tune or evaluate a model.
  8. Attribution: name the node, and the item title where there is one, in anything that uses the material.
  9. A new task needs a new licence.
