License of two exact RTMPose-project checkpoints for proprietary server-side SaaS

Author: nyattohCreated Sep 19, 2026Updated Sep 19, 2026

We use MMPose/MMDetection code under Apache-2.0. This question is specifically about the trained weights.

We will not assume that the repository Apache-2.0 license covers these checkpoint files unless OpenMMLab confirms that it does.

Intended use

Proprietary commercial SaaS:

  • server-side inference
  • weights stay on the server
  • customers do not download the weights

Please answer per file (yes / no / unknown) if you are able.

  1. What license, if any, applies to this exact checkpoint? Apache-2.0? another license? no separately published license?

  2. May this exact checkpoint be used for inference in a proprietary commercial SaaS where:

    • weights remain server-side
    • customers never receive the weights
  3. Does the answer change if the weight is converted to ONNX or TensorRT but remains server-side?

  4. May the raw .pth checkpoint be redistributed?

  5. May converted ONNX / TensorRT weights be redistributed?

  6. May the checkpoint be fine-tuned and the derivative used commercially?

  7. For RTMDet: was Objects365 actually used to train 05d8511e? If yes: do the Objects365 terms impose any restriction on commercial inference using this checkpoint?

  8. For RTMPose file 8edcf0d7, the config initializes from cspnext-s_udp-aic-coco_.... Please confirm:

    • whether AIC appears only in backbone pretraining
    • whether AIC is also involved elsewhere in this checkpoint's training lineage
    • whether AIC terms impose restrictions on commercial inference
  9. What attribution / NOTICE / license files are required if use is permitted?

  10. Is there an official document that states the license applicable to published OpenMMLab .pth model zoo checkpoints?

A link to an official weight-license document would close this issue.

Thank you.
