Questions for the meeting
Must the competition's open-source license be OSI-approved, or can a custom model license qualify when it explicitly permits modification and commercial use?
Are PML 1.0 pretrained weights, including RF-DETR XL and 2XL, eligible?
Are DINOv3-licensed weights allowed as a backbone or training-only teacher when the submitted student is a different architecture?
Does an official checkpoint from an MIT- or Apache-2.0 project satisfy the requirement when the checkpoint has no separate weight-license statement?
