Use freely & publicly available pre-trained models/LICENSE clarification

Are freely & publicly available pre-trained models allowed to be used ? Can we use external data in our submission? Are there any potential LICENSE issues that our final submission needs to comply with to be eligible for prize money?

Hello, the usage of external data is perfectly allowed and welcomed, provided that the solution remains fully reproductible. The answer posted for the previous Airborne Object Tracking Challenge applies to this challenge as well, including the 3 examples of situations where using external data wouldn’t compromise the reproducibility.
