+## YOLO Licenses: How is Ultralytics YOLO licensed?
+
+Ultralytics YOLO repositories like YOLOv3, YOLOv5, or YOLOv8 are available under two different licenses:
+
+- **AGPL-3.0 License**: See [LICENSE](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/LICENSE) file for details.
+- **Enterprise License**: Provides greater flexibility for commercial product development without the open-source requirements of AGPL-3.0. Typical use cases are embedding Ultralytics software and AI models in commercial products and applications. Request an Enterprise License at [Ultralytics Licensing](https://ultralytics.com/license).
+
+Please note our licensing approach ensures that any enhancements made to our open-source projects are shared back to the community. We firmly believe in the principles of open source, and we are committed to ensuring that our work can be used and improved upon in a manner that benefits everyone.

 The output of an object detector is a set of bounding boxes that enclose the objects in the image, along with class labels and confidence scores for each box. Object detection is a good choice when you need to identify objects of interest in a scene, but don't need to know exactly where the object is or its exact shape.
