Llama 2 License Agreement and Responsible Use Guidelines
Introduction
The Llama 2 Community License Agreement outlines the terms for using, reproducing, distributing, and modifying the Llama Materials. The agreement ensures that the models are used responsibly while allowing broad accessibility to developers and licensees.
License Terms
The Llama 2 Community License Agreement provides a permissive license for the models, subject to certain restrictions: *
- Developers must submit a request to download model artifacts from sub-repos, which will be reviewed by the Microsoft ONNX team.
- The license prohibits certain illegal or harmful use cases, such as:
- Promoting or facilitating activities that risk death or bodily harm.
- Developing products that violate the Acceptable Use Policy.
- If monthly active users of products or services involving Llama 2 exceed 700 million, licensees must request a license from Meta, which Meta may grant at its discretion.
Responsible Use
While Meta's license for Llama 2 does not fully meet industry standards for commercial use and usage restrictions, the developer community has a critical role in ensuring responsible use of new products. This guide provides resources and best practices to support responsible development and deployment of Llama 2-based applications.
