Open-source / Permissive license for PixelDiT-ImageNet weights?
Hi! First of all, thanks for sharing the PixelDiT weights and code! ^_^/
I noticed that the current model license restricts the weights and derivatives to non-commercial use.
Would you consider switching to a license that allows commercial use, ideally a permissive open-source license such as Apache 2.0 or MIT?
Non-commercial licenses often make it harder for people to build real tools around a model, including integrations, production testing, LoRAs, fine-tunes, UI support, and other community contributions.
I also noticed that the official PixelDiT code repository appears to use the same NVIDIA License / NSCLv1. So this request applies to both the released weights and the code.
If a fully permissive license is not possible, maybe a commercial-friendly community license could be a good middle ground. There are already a few useful examples:
- Meta's Llama 3 Community License allows commercial use for most users, requiring a separate license only when the licensee's products or services exceed 700M monthly active users.
- The FLUX.1 [dev] Non-Commercial License allows commercial use of generated outputs while still restricting commercial use of the model itself.
- The Stability AI Community License allows free commercial use for individuals and organizations under USD $1,000,000 in annual revenue.
I hope you’ll consider it, for the benefit of the project and the broader community. And of course, I respect whatever you decide :)
