Auto_annotate and agpl

Hey!

I know you have recently added the auto_annotate feature (already a few months ago but yeah). Since your code is licensed under AGPL-3.0, does this mean that annotations generated using auto_annotate feature, need to be made public? I guess this is a somewhat similar question to the models question (in which I think i agree with the ultralytics point of view), but a bit different I guess.

Thank you!

Thank you for your support and thoughtful question! Generated annotations using the auto_annotate feature are not themselves subject to the AGPL-3.0 license, as they are considered outputs of the software rather than derived works. However, any modifications or use of the auto_annotate code within your project would require compliance with AGPL-3.0, meaning your entire project would need to be open-sourced under the same license unless you obtain an Enterprise License.
