<p>This project looks awesome!<p>In the US, many state governments have anti-indemnify laws that restrict the state government agencies (including state universities) from agreeing to contracts and agreements with such language.  I'd love to make this available to researchers at my university, but I'm not sure I can click through such an agreement (similar problems exist with other LLMs).<p>It is Apache 2 and I don't see anything that prohibits another contracting party from agreeing to the Apertus LLM Acceptable Use Policy and redistributing with just Apache 2 and without the AUP. Maybe this provides a solution? Unless I'm missing something?</p>
