Sections 1.8, 3.1, 5.1
Is anything owed?

Sections 5.1, 5.2
What travels with a fork?
Identify the base model under Section 8.1 and publish the nature of the modification and data categories used under Section 8.2.
Sections 8.1, 8.2
Cautions
What this situation gets wrong most often.
Section 1.7 excludes an entity acting as a reseller or intermediary for a Legal Entity above the threshold from the Root tier, even where its own revenue is small.
Section 8.3 forbids imposing a user ceiling, a regional exclusion, or an output-training restriction downstream where this licence imposes none. That prohibition is the point of the instrument.

Other situations for this party.
Non-normative. Where this and the licence text disagree, the licence text applies.
