## 🚨Missing License
Hi, I'd like to report a missing license in yamatazen/EtherealAurora-12B-v2. From what I can see, this model was created by merging two base models:
yamatazen/EtherealAurora-12B— no license provided
natong19/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407-abliterated — licensed under Apache-2.0
As far as I can tell, the merged model (v2) doesn’t currently include any license information — which means, legally speaking, no one has formal permission to use, modify, or redistribute it, even if it’s widely done in practice.
⚠️ Without a license attached:
• By default, users technically don’t have legal permission to use, modify, distribute, or even deploy the model
• This also technically blocks any downstream reuse, even for research or open-source work
• Other teams might want to build on this model but may hesitate or be unable to because the usage rights are unclear
• This can unintentionally limit the model’s impact, even if your intention was to make it openly available!
🔹 Suggestion:
To help clarify usage and make things smoother for the community, it might be helpful to:
I’d suggest adding Apache-2.0 or another compatible license to both:
yamatazen/EtherealAurora-12B
yamatazen/EtherealAurora-12B-v2
Appreciate the work behind this model — it’s always exciting to see new merges and experimentation happening in the open! 😄
Having clear licenses on both the base and merged models will really help clarify reuse rights for downstream users and avoid any ambiguity. Let me know if I missed anything!
Thanks for your attention!
