When we recently released our ASR models, we decided to use a custom license that forbids using it for monitoring people in custody. I know it probably won't make a difference in the grand scheme of things, but I think with the capabilities that we're developing it's worth considering how it might be used. https://huggingface.co/futo-org/asr4all-l/blob/main/LICENSE
