These guys need to be clearer they're the developers of PlaidML - I don't think it's made very obvious.

Worth pointing out for anyone else that it seems PlaidML is AGPL licensed - so maybe not worth getting too excited about if you have any commercial applications in mind.

Thanks, I updated the wording to call out that we developed it. We dual license the software so there's a commercial option similar to MySQL, just get in touch. The open source project is mostly a way to support research/education.

AGPL would be a restriction if you need to deploy this model on top of PlaidML in production. It is still very useful during the training time after which the neural network can be offloaded into production framework such as tensorflow.

Heh, I think the part of the point of PlaidML is to avoid the speed/efficiency limitations of TensorFlow in deployment/production.
