This repository contains two kinds of material under two different licences.

1. SOURCE CODE (scripts/, configs/, project.yml, docs/) — MIT, below.

2. TRAINED PIPELINES (fa_dep_news_sm, fa_core_news_sm, fa_ent_news_sm, and any
   artifact under training/ or packages/) — Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike
   4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0).

   These are Adapted Material derived from UD_Persian-PerDT (PerUDT v1.0), which is
   licensed CC BY-SA 4.0, so the ShareAlike condition requires the same licence.

   The entity annotations additionally derive from that treebank's
   not-to-release/Dadegan with NER tag/ layer, which its README states was produced
   with the Beheshti-NER tagger (Taher, Hoseini, Shamsfard 2020) plus manual
   corrections.

   Modifications made to the licensed material: CoNLL-U converted to spaCy DocBin
   with multiword tokens merged (`spacy convert --merge-subtokens`); entity spans
   realigned onto that tokenization by difflib, with spans that could not be aligned
   exactly dropped rather than guessed. See docs/MODELS.md.

   The licensed material is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind, and the
   licensor disclaims liability for damages arising from its use, to the extent
   permitted by CC BY-SA 4.0 sections 5(a) and 5(b).
