About these licenses
LionBox includes open-source software and openly licensed AI models. Each component is provided under its own license, and buying a LionBox does not transfer ownership of, or any rights beyond those licenses in, these components. As our Terms of sale state, third-party models and open-source components retain their own licenses and acceptable-use restrictions.
The lists below name the principal components. Each one also contains libraries of its own, which keep their own licenses and notices. The complete license texts are available through the links below or on request from support@lionbox.ai.
