ADOPTION OF RAIL LICENSES

  • As of 1 April 2023, there are over 8,000 RAIL-Licensed repositories on the HuggingFace Hub.

  • According to a recent paper that analyzed licenses attached to models on the HuggingFace hub, between September 2022 and January 2023, Open RAIL licenses have overtaken all other categories of restrictive open source licenses, and are now the second most used category after permissive open source software licenses.
