According to your model card, you derived this fine tuned model from google/gemma-2-9b which is proprietary model.

And you are trying to "re-license" it, but do you have written permission from Google for re-licensing to Apache 2.0? I don't think so.

This way you are putting users at risks...

Re-licensing software, especially proprietary models like Google's Gemma, without permission is a serious issue. Here's why:

1. Legal Violation: Unauthorized re-licensing can be a violation of copyright laws, leading to potential legal consequences.
2. Breach of Contract: If you have an agreement with Google, re-licensing the model without their permission might constitute a breach of contract.
3. Trust and Credibility: It can damage your reputation and credibility, as users may lose trust in your ability to manage intellectual property rights responsibly.
4. User Risks: As pointed out, users can be put at risk. They might rely on software that doesn't have clear ownership or licensing, which can lead to unexpected changes, discontinuation, or legal liability.

If you're looking to use a model like Gemma, it's crucial to seek permission from the original owners, like Google. Alternatively, you might explore other the truly free software models that are freely available and have clear licensing agreements, such as those under Apache 2.0. which you know which are those!

So my question is, Why? Why? Why?

Do you understand that re-licensing is not possible?

Do you understand that people fetching it will think it is Apache 2.0 but are put in legal danger?
