Yes, Jörn. Since we (LINA Lab.) managed to get the right to distrisbute the models, we contacted the owner (actually her legal department) in July, to ask her if it would be possible, with respect to the corpus rights, to specify in the license that the trained models could be distributed by anyone under AL2.
So far, no news. I will ask again soon.
