Essentials

Can I limit licensing to evaluation only?

By SourceX Editorial · Updated

Short answer

Yes. A license can allow testing models only, not training them. It usually pays less but keeps tighter control.

What evaluation-only means#

The buyer may use the data to measure model quality but not to train on it.

Trade-offs#

Narrower uses generally mean lower value, but less risk.

How SourceX handles it#

SourceX starts with a short fit check that shares no data. If it fits, rights are reviewed, a copy is prepared with personal and confidential details removed, and your company approves exactly what leaves before anything is delivered under a signed license.

Frequently asked questions
