LGTM. Non-blocking suggestion


* **Privacy:** Does your project collect data on users? "Phone home" to company servers? Your legal team can help you comply with company policies and external regulations.

* **AI** As AI models and functionality become integral to software, it is crucial to understand licensing agreements and relevant legislation controlling their use. Even when a model or service claims to be under a standard open source license, additional terms may impose restrictions, such as preventing abuse or fraud. New legislation is also putting restrictions on the types of systems or actions that can be performed by AI-based software.
