------------
Everything in this repository — every source file, test and document — is licensed under the
Apache License, Version 2.0. See LICENSE for the full text. The code was written from an
understanding of what the network computes; it is not derived from, and does not copy, any
other implementation.

MODEL WEIGHTS ARE NOT COVERED BY THIS LICENSE
---------------------------------------------
Model weights are licensed separately from this code, and the Apache-2.0 license above does not
extend to them. This package ships no weights: it reads a checkpoint file that you supply.

Checkpoints trained and published by Ultralytics — including the YOLO26 checkpoints this package
was validated against — are licensed under AGPL-3.0 (https://ultralytics.com/license). Loading
such a checkpoint does not change the license of this code, and this code does not change the
license of the checkpoint. You are responsible for complying with the terms of whatever weights
you load, including any obligation those terms place on how you distribute or serve the results.

RELATIONSHIP TO THE ULTRALYTICS PACKAGE
---------------------------------------
This package neither bundles nor depends on the `ultralytics` package, and never imports it. It
reads the checkpoint archive directly and refuses to import any class the file names.
