What do licences and standards add?

Review the exact base-model licence, redistribution conditions, acceptable-use terms and teacher-output permissions. Llama 3.3’s published agreement is an example of a model-specific contract; it should not be generalised to other model families. The OSI definition also shows why “weights available” and “open-source system” are different claims.

NIST’s Generative AI Profile is a voluntary risk-management resource, not a regulator’s approval of a product. A contract can nevertheless require specific controls or evidence inspired by it. Specify the deliverable—such as an inventory, testing record or incident process—instead of promising vague framework alignment.

The FTC’s June 2026 AI-accuracy policy notice is a proposal in the source retrieved. Its final disposition was not verified in this pass. Treat it as a watch item, not a newly enacted technical requirement; keep marketing claims tied to evidence regardless.
