I see the pytorch Dockerfile downloads Miniconda from repo.anaconda.com
and installs software from Anaconda here. According to Anaconda’s Terms of Service (ToS)
Unless expressly agreed by Anaconda, You may not: (a) Make, sell, resell, license, sublicense, distribute, rent, or lease any Offerings available to anyone other than You or Your Users, unless expressly stated otherwise in an Order, Custom Agreement or the Documentation or as otherwise expressly permitted in writing by Anaconda… If You would like to redistribute or embed any Offering in any product You are developing, please contact the Anaconda team for a third party redistribution commercial license.
Your registration, download, use, installation, access, or enjoyment of all Anaconda Offerings on behalf of an organization that has two hundred (200) or more employees or contractors (“Organizational Use ”) requires a paid license of Anaconda Business or Anaconda Enterprise… Utilizing Miniconda to pull package updates from the Anaconda Public Repository without a commercial license (if required by the conditions set forth in Section 2 of this Terms of Service) is considered a violation of the Terms of Service.
Questions
- Do the resulting
pytorch/pytorch
container images comply with Anaconda’s ToS? - Does use of these images (as-is or modified, like
FROM pytorch/pytorch
) in organizations with 200 or more employees require a paid license?
Context
Software maker Anaconda Inc has sued Intel in Delaware federal court, accusing the chipmaker of misusing its software for developing artificial-intelligence platforms, according to a lawsuit made public on Friday.
