## 🚨Missing License

#1
by xixi126 - opened

Hi, I'd like to report a missing license in nomic-ai/nomic-xlm-2048. I noticed that this model was finetuned from FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-base, which is licensed under MIT License — a permissive open-source license that allows for reuse and redistribution as long as the original license is included. But the thing is, the nomic-ai/nomic-xlm-2048 currently doesn’t include any license information, which can lead to confusion for downstream users.

⚠️ Without a license attached:

  • By default, users technically don’t have legal permission to use, modify, distribute, or even deploy the model
  
  • This also technically blocks any downstream reuse, even for research or open-source work
  
  • Other teams might want to build on this model but may hesitate or be unable to because the usage rights are unclear
  
  • This can unintentionally limit the model’s impact, even if your intention was to make it openly available!

🔹 Suggestion:

It might be helpful to:

Adding the MIT License (or a compatible license) to the repo or model card

Totally appreciate the work on this — just hoping to make things a bit smoother and safer for downstream users! 😊Let me know if I misunderstood anything — happy to help!

Thanks for your attention!
