Hi! I can see that the code is licensed under the MIT license. Does this also apply to the weights of the trained model?

Hi, thanks for asking. The model is trained on data from Google Street View, therefore the MIT license doesn't apply to the weights of the trained model

I think this is worth mentioning in the LICENSE. For example it would mean that anyone using your model for e.g. the image matching challenge would be automatically disqualified.

I'm also wondering about the data from google street view, from my recollection they do not allow creating datasets:

Am I misinterpreting what google is saying in these guidelines?
