What is OMLA? A permissive model license plus payment routing: free for personal/research; commercial use shares 30% of net revenue with upstream creators.
Is this “open source”? It is open access, but not OSI‑open‑source because it requires royalties. We focus on sustainability for creators.
How do I pay? Send to the model’s OMLA wallet (crypto or payment pointer). Our tools can batch micropayments and automate splits.
Do I owe royalties for outputs? If you monetize outputs substantially generated by the model, yes—treat that as Commercial Use.
Do I have to open source my fine‑tune? No. You can keep it private; just honor the royalty if you use it commercially.
How are derivatives handled? Declare base models and contribution percentages. Your self‑attribution is capped at 50% unless Board‑approved.
Currency? Crypto (stablecoins recommended) and payment pointers. Fiat via partner processors or monthly settlement.
Security? Verified ownership (model‑card token), audited split contracts, 2FA on accounts, and public on‑chain audit trails.
