EVALUATION-ONLY ADDENDUM

This dataset is licensed for evaluation, benchmarking, and academic research
only. Use as training data for machine learning models is expressly prohibited:
no training, fine-tuning, distillation, or baking examples into a model.
Redistribution is permitted only on these same terms (unmodified, attributed,
non-commercial, evaluation-only); selling the data is prohibited as a
commercial use.

ADDITIONAL PERMISSIONS GRANTED BY THE LICENSOR

On top of CC-BY-NC-4.0, Latimal, as licensor, grants:

1. Running FoodEval to evaluate and compare models is permitted in any
   setting, including inside a company and in commercial model-selection
   decisions. The NonCommercial clause is not intended to prevent anyone
   from measuring models with this benchmark.
2. The evaluation code and tooling (everything outside the dataset task
   files, which live at foodeval/data/ in the package and data/ on the
   Hugging Face dataset repo) may be used commercially.
