# Data provenance and release license

## Why the model is CC BY-NC-SA 2.0

Muharaf is the most restrictive recorded training source. The release therefore adopts CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 as a conservative, non-commercial ShareAlike license rather than using Apache-2.0 or MIT for the weights.

Before any commercial release, obtain a dataset-by-dataset legal review or train a clean replacement using only data compatible with the intended commercial license.

## Separate application content

The Athar retrieval library is not bundled into this model repository. Its texts have separate provenance and license records. In the current application, only one of four indexed book records has fully documented digital-text licensing; the UI exposes that limitation.
