Is this Apache licensed or a custom one? The README contains this:

> This project is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 - see the LICENSE file for details.

> This project offers a high-fidelity speech generation model *intended solely for research and educational use*. The following uses are strictly forbidden:

> Identity Misuse: Do not produce audio resembling real individuals without permission.

> ...

Specifically the phrase "intended solely for research and educational use".

Sorry for the confusion. the license is plain Apache 2.0, and we changed the wording to "intended for research and educational use." The point was, users are free to use it for their use cases, just don't do shady stuff with it.

Thanks for the feedback :)

    So is that actually part of the license (making it non-Apache 2.0), or not?

Hmm, the "strictly forbidden" part seems more important than whatever are their stated intentions... Either way, it seems like it needs clarifying.
