Are Ultralytics YOLO trained models licensed under the AGPL- 3.0 license?

Yes, all Ultralytics YOLO trained models fall under the AGPL-3.0 License by default. The AGPL-3.0 License covers the training code and the models produced by that training code.

What are the Enterprise License Terms?

Please see the full text of the Enterprise License PDF for details.

Do I need a separate Enterprise License for each Ultralytics YOLO product?

No, a separate Enterprise License is not required for each Ultralytics product. With this license, you will have access to the complete Ultralytics YOLO source code portfolio, which encompasses existing versions such as YOLOv8 and YOLO11, as well as any future YOLO models that Ultralytics may release during the License Term. This includes:

  • Pre-trained Models
  • Supporting Documentation
  • Subsequent Modifications: Enhancements, upgrades, new features, bug fixes, and repairs.

If you have any other questions, please reach out to us via the Request Form above.

What are the benefits of the Enterprise License versus the AGPL-3.0 License?

An Enterprise License provides organizations with the ability to modify Ultralytics YOLO source code, and to embed Ultralytics YOLO code and models in their commercial products without needing to follow the constraints of the AGPL-3.0 License, namely the requirement to open-source modified works or larger works containing Ultralytics YOLO code and models.

This provides organizations full flexibility to pursue the development of proprietary products and services containing Ultralytics YOLO code and models.

Do I need an Enterprise License?

Ultralytics YOLO repositories like YOLOv5 and YOLO11 come with an AGPL-3.0 License for all users by default.

If you aim to integrate Ultralytics software and AI models into commercial goods and services without adhering to the open-source requirements of AGPL-3.0, then our Enterprise License is what you're looking for. Designed specifically for commercial use, this license allows for a seamless integration, bypassing the constraints of the AGPL-3.0 License.

The AGPL-3.0, an OSI-approved license, is tailored for students and enthusiasts, promoting open collaboration and the free exchange of knowledge. It mandates that all software and AI models under its jurisdiction be open-sourced. Moreover, any larger project or software that incorporates an AGPL-3.0 component is obligated to adopt the same open-source approach. This not only guarantees unparalleled transparency but also strengthens the foundational values of cooperative innovation in the tech domain. If you decide to work with AGPL-3.0 licensed tools or AI models, you must be prepared to open-source your entire project.

Should your scenario involve leveraging out models for a commercial use case, please request an Ultralytics Enterprise License using the Request Form above and we will be in touch!
