# Automated Model License Analysis

> Use Bud AI Foundry to evaluate whether model licenses match your intended usage before deployment

If you are deciding between model families like LLAMA and Qwen—or even between close variants like LLAMA 3.1 and LLAMA 3.2—licensing often becomes the deciding factor.

Bud AI Foundry includes a built-in license analysis experience so your team can review license details directly in the model workflow, instead of manually parsing long legal text each time.

## What this feature solves

* Reduces manual license interpretation work.
* Gives teams a repeatable review step before deployment.
* Surfaces license details and FAQs in one place for faster decisions.

## How it works in Bud

The model details flow supports viewing license details and FAQs, including license files/URLs and structured Q\&A content.

    E -->|No| G[Select Alternate Model]
```

## Recommended decision workflow

1. Identify candidate models for the task.
2. Open each model's license details page.
3. Compare usage constraints against your product scenario.
4. Record your approval/rejection outcome with rationale.
5. Continue onboarding/deployment only for approved candidates.

<Tip>
  Treat license review as a required quality gate, alongside performance and security checks.

## Practical examples

* **Commercial SaaS feature**: confirm redistribution and commercial usage rights.
* **Internal enterprise assistant**: verify internal-use allowances and attribution obligations.
* **Fine-tuned derivative model**: validate derivative-use terms before publishing.
