# Third-Party Notices
Obscura includes tokenizer vocabulary data compatible with OpenAI's
`tiktoken` project. The implementation, encoding definitions, source URLs, and
asset hashes were validated against the upstream project. Obscura preserves
the following upstream notice:

The Presidio-Research dataset snapshots committed under
`eval/datasets/presidio_research/` are excluded from the Hex package and carry
their own license and notice files in that directory. Optional model weights,
tokenizers, caches, and exported ONNX assets are not bundled with Obscura.
## TNER OntoNotes Model
The optional `tner/roberta-large-ontonotes5` checkpoint used by `:balanced`
and `:accurate` is not bundled, distributed, sublicensed, or licensed by
Obscura. LDC directly confirmed on 2026-07-22 that commercial use requires an
LDC for-profit membership under the applicable OntoNotes terms. Obscura does
not grant or verify that authorization. LDC did not conclusively answer the
separate checkpoint-redistribution question. See
`docs/model-asset-licensing.md` before preparing this external asset.
