Experiment model license ledger

Every model loaded by an experiment must be Apache-2.0, MIT, or BSD. Verified against the actual LICENSE file in the upstream repo, not just the HF metadata field. Update this file the moment a new model enters an experiment.

Model HF ID License LICENSE source Verified
Prithvi-EO 2.0 (Sen1Floods11 fine-tune) ibm-nasa-geospatial/Prithvi-EO-2.0-300M-TL-Sen1Floods11 Apache-2.0 Model card frontmatter license: apache-2.0 2026-05-02
GLiNER medium v2.1 urchade/gliner_medium-v2.1 Apache-2.0 HF cardData.license = "apache-2.0"; NOT to be confused with gliner_base which is CC-BY-NC-4.0 2026-05-02
Granite Embedding Reranker R2 (English) ibm-granite/granite-embedding-reranker-english-r2 Apache-2.0 HF cardData.license = "apache-2.0" 2026-05-02
Granite Guardian 3.2 3B-A800M ibm-granite/granite-guardian-3.2-3b-a800m Apache-2.0 HF cardData.license = "apache-2.0"; transformers + safetensors; intended for BYOC adversarial filtering 2026-05-03
TerraMind 1.0 base ibm-esa-geospatial/TerraMind-1.0-base Apache-2.0 README frontmatter license: apache-2.0; HF cardData confirms. No separate LICENSE file in repo (IBM repo norm — cardData is canonical for IBM/ESA models). arXiv:2504.11171 cross-references IBM's standard Apache-2.0 release posture. 2026-05-02
TerraMind 1.0 base — encoder backbone (terramind_v1_base) (same repo, encoder variant) Apache-2.0 Same weights as above; the BACKBONE_REGISTRY variant exposes the encoder for fine-tuning. Verified via experiments/05a_terramind_finetune_micro/micro.py on AMD MI300X. 2026-05-03

Auditing checklist (per model)

  • HF model page metadata says one of: apache-2.0, mit, bsd-*
  • Repo's LICENSE file confirms the same license verbatim
  • If the model wraps a base model with a different license, the base's LICENSE is also tracked here and ALL of base+wrapper are acceptable
  • Date verified is the date the LICENSE file was last fetched
