+**Section I: PREAMBLE**
+
+This Research-Only RAIL License is generally applicable to the Artifact(s) identified above.
+
+For valuable consideration, You and Licensor agree as follows:
+
+**1. Definitions**
+
+(a) “**Application**” refers to a sequence of instructions or statements written in machine code language, including object code (that is the product of a compiler), binary code (data using a two-symbol system) or an intermediate language (such as register transfer language).

+(l) **“Output”** means the results of operating a Model as embodied in informational content resulting therefrom.
+
+(m) “**Permitted Purpose**” means for academic or research purposes only.
+
+(n) “**Source Code**” means any collection of text written using human-readable programming language, including the code and scripts used to define, run, load, benchmark or evaluate a Model or any component thereof, and/or used to prepare data for training or evaluation, if any.
