I would like to thank everyone for the active discussion about software licenses on the forum. In discussion with Kaggle, we would like to reiterate that all final submissions must be compliant with the Competition Rules. There are many commonly used permissive open source licenses (e.g., Apache 2.0, BSD 3.0, others) that are compatible with the MIT License and therefore are compliant with the Competition Rules. @rwightman provided an informative post with advice for making other permissive open source licenses compliant with the MIT License. More restrictive open source licenses (e.g., GPL 2.0, GPL 3.0, others with similar restrictive characteristics) are not compatible with the MIT License and therefore should not be used in final submissions.
\n\nThere have also been questions about the procedure that will be used to check compliance. After the final submissions, Kaggle will contact the top teams on the private leaderboard and they will be required to demonstrate that their solution is compliant with the Competition Rules. Submissions found to be non-compliant will be removed from the leaderboard.
