The Apache License you released Lightning under explicitly allows people to clone your framework if they adhere to the license and provides them patent protection if they do so.

Just to be 100% clear.

We want people to build on Lightning and we want companies to deliver value and products for their users.

We place no limitations on how Lightning is use or what products people will build.

Our in-process patent portfolio is not to limit the use of lightning in any way but for defensibility purposes only.

If you have any other inquiries please email legal@pytorchlightning.ai for more details.
