> Just because the OSI doesn't like ... Statements that begin like this are nearly always rhetorical attempts to subvert the standard usage of the terminology. > but they're completely unenforced Utterly irrelevant from a legal perspective. Also entirely circumstantial in that it depends entirely on the license holder and can easily vary between end users. I'm also rather confused how RAIL entered into this to begin with. Unless I've missed something significant, most variants (or at least high end variants) of Stable Diffusion [0] and Flux [1] are under non-commercial licenses. Not that I take issue with that. I've no delusion that a company is going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on compute and then open the floor to competitors who literally clone their data.

Are you sure that's true? https://github.com/black-forest-labs/flux/blob/main/model_li... From the license: "We claim no ownership rights in and to the Outputs. You are solely responsible for the Outputs you generate and their subsequent uses in accordance with this License. You may use Output for any purpose (including for commercial purposes), except as expressly prohibited herein. You may not use the Output to train, fine-tune or distill a model that is competitive with the FLUX.1 [dev] Model." This license seems to indicate that the images from the dev model CAN be used for commercial purposes outside of using those images to train derivative models. It would be a little weird to me that they'd allow you to use FluxDev images for commercial purposes IF AND ONLY IF the model host was Replicate.
