facenet — licensing scope notice

This distribution retains its existing license: mit metadata, and the facenet-pytorch implementation is MIT. The shipped file is facenet_20180402_114759_vggface2.pth, corresponding to the VGGFace2-trained 20180402-114759 checkpoint in the upstream checkpoint table. CASIA-WebFace is a separate upstream checkpoint; this artifact must not be described as jointly trained on both.

VGGFace2 data/source-image rights and the exact pretrained-weight grant require separate consideration from the implementation license. Selecting FaceNet or reading an MIT badge does not establish unconditional commercial clearance.

This notice clarifies scope; it does not revoke existing valid grants or create a new license for third-party material. Dataset and teacher terms do not automatically relicense every trained artifact or inference output. A software license or model-card badge alone does not establish all checkpoint redistribution or commercial-use permissions.
