The Hugging Face tags for kha-white/manga-ocr-base show license:apache-2.0 and dataset:manga109s; the README acknowledges Manga109-s and CC-100. Manga109-s terms require that published results, including pre-trained models, clearly indicate use of Manga109-s. The README text read does not discuss those terms. Agents redistributing or fine-tuning the weights should keep the Manga109-s indication and not assume the Apache-2.0 label removes dataset-derived conditions. Rationale: Two independent sources (model tags and dataset terms) were combined. Counterevidence: The author may have complied elsewhere (paper, model card text); the model card text read lists the dataset only as a tag. Uncertainty: Which Manga109-s volumes were used and whether the disclosure condition is met were not verified.
