{"id":"Intel-Research-Use-License","title":"Intel Research Use License Agreement","reviewed_on":"2026-09-22","reviewer":"Giray Havur","text_source":"https://scancode-licensedb.aboutcode.org/intel-research-use-2024.LICENSE","text_retrieved":true,"verdict":"created","summary":"A narrow research licence over datasets, model weights and other software. You may use, reproduce, display and distribute the material for research purposes and nothing else, and the agreement says in terms that any other use is withheld. The record is the most restrictive of this family: it permits three acts, prohibits the rest expressly, and carries no duty at all because the text asks for no notice and no attribution.","findings":[{"rubric":1,"severity":"info","field":"dct:title","description":"File name, record identifier and IRI local name agree. The licence has no SPDX identifier, so no spdx:licenseId triple is written. dct:title is the heading of the document; the short form and the model-hub tag are in dct:alternative.","action":"applied"},{"rubric":2,"severity":"major","field":"odrl:target","description":"dcmitype:Dataset and dcmitype:Software. The definition is express: \"'Material' means datasets, model weights or other software Intel makes available to you under this Agreement.\"","action":"applied"},{"rubric":3,"severity":"major","field":"odrl:permission","description":"Section 2 grants \"a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, license under Intel's copyrights in the Material, to use, reproduce, display, and distribute the Material solely for research purposes.\" That is odrl:reproduce, odrl:display and odrl:distribute, and nothing more. odrl:present is not written: the text says display, not perform.","action":"applied"},{"rubric":4,"severity":"major","field":"odrl:prohibition","description":"Section 2.1 reads \"Except as authorized above, You will not: (a) use Material in any other way; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Material, or (c) use Material to violate or aid in the violation of any international human right.\" Because the grant is closed, the acts it does not name are prohibited rather than merely absent: odrl:modify, odrl:derive, cc:DerivativeWorks, dalicc:ModifiedWorks and cc:CommercialUse, the last from \"solely for research purposes\". dalicc:sublicense is prohibited from \"non-sublicensable\". dalicc:ChangeLicense is prohibited because the agreement binds every user of the material by its own terms: \"By using or distributing any portion or element of the Material, You agree to be bound by this Agreement.\" dalicc:exemptedMaterial is prohibited from section 3: \"Your use of certain third-party software with or within the Material is subject to your compliance with licensing you obtain directly from that third-party.\"","action":"applied"},{"rubric":5,"severity":"major","field":"odrl:duty","description":"The record carries no duty, licence-wide or on an act. The text asks for no copyright notice, no attribution line, no copy of the agreement and no modification note, and none was invented. This makes the record one of the few in the library with neither cc:Attribution nor cc:Notice; the review proposes that the consolidation add the identifier to the list of records that rule 6 of the family rules exempts.","action":"applied"},{"rubric":6,"severity":"minor","field":"dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer","description":"Section 4 goes to dalicc:WarrantyDisclaimer and section 5 to dalicc:LiabilityLimitation, each whole and verbatim. dalicc:additionalClauses carries the acceptance sentence, the definitions, the licence grant, the restrictions, the no-implied- licence clause, the third-party clause, the term and termination clause and the governing- law clause. Curly quotation marks in the source are kept; no long dash appears in the text.","action":"applied"},{"rubric":7,"severity":"minor","field":"cc:jurisdiction","description":"cc:jurisdiction is dalicc:worldwide, from the \"worldwide\" grant, and dalicc:governingLaw names the law the agreement chooses: \"All disputes will be governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of Delaware without reference to conflict of law principles\". dalicc:validityType is dalicc:perpetual, because the term runs from acceptance until terminated rather than for a fixed period, and dalicc:terminatesOnBreach is true from \"Intel may terminate this Agreement if You are in breach of any term or condition of this Agreement.\" No cure period is given.","action":"applied"},{"rubric":8,"severity":"gap","field":"dalicc:fieldOfUseRestriction","description":"\"solely for research purposes\" is a field of use the vocabulary cannot carry as an action. The literal names the field and the clause is quoted; the proposed term is dalicc:researchUseOnly, a duty action beside dalicc:computationalUseOnly. The same proposal covers two other records of this family.","action":"none"},{"rubric":8,"severity":"gap","field":"dalicc:additionalClauses","description":"Clause 2.1(c), \"use Material to violate or aid in the violation of any international human right\", is a use restriction of the kind the responsible-use licences of this family put in an attachment.

The eight prohibitions and three permissions do not overlap, and none of the prohibited actions is implied by a permitted one in the dependency graph.","action":"none"},{"rubric":10,"severity":"info","field":"record","description":"Family: the narrowest of the three research-only records. Like the other two it prohibits cc:CommercialUse and names its field in dalicc:fieldOfUseRestriction, but it is the only one of the seventeen that withholds modification and derivative works, and the only one with no duty.","action":"none"}],"family":"Model licences","port_of":null,"variant_kind":null,"variant_of":null,"notes":"The copy in the model repository the evidence names returned 404, so the text was taken from the ScanCode license database and cc:legalcode and dct:source both point there.
