A lot of the previous Qwen models seem to have used Apache licenses, among others:<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwen#List_of_models" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwen#List_of_modelsUnfortunately, it looks like this model is using a much more restrictive license:<a href="https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen-Image-2.1/blob/main/LICENSE" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen-Image-2.1/blob/main/LICENSE
Was going to post about this: the last image models with Apache 2.0 license seem to be from 2025, recent Qwen models are "non-commercial use".
Companies can use llm to license-wash open source code regardless of license.How difficult would it be to use this model to create a second model without licensing issues?
No one really cares about licenses, especially now. Just use it, the odds of consequences are unfathomably low.
