Meaning
A model release is a record of a person's consent for specified uses of their likeness, under stated terms.
A practical example
An asset handoff might link a release record and its permitted use conditions without exposing the person's private details publicly.
What to check
A release and a copyright license address different issues. Do not infer one from the other or publish private release documents as marketing evidence.
