AGPL-3.0 — Ultralytics YOLO11 base, community ONNX exportOptional deep-detection tier for faint and tiled watermarks.
This community model rides on YOLO11 (AGPL-3.0). ClearPix loads it on demand, unmodified, as a separate downloadable artifact — not compiled into the app. We are evaluating an enterprise-licensed or self-trained replacement; until then the model is OFF by default and only fetched when you enable Deep detection.
