Invoke, shared a few weeks ago, uses MIT and adheres to best practices in respecting model licenses/requirements (e.g., agreeing to not use it for hate speech, harming others, etc.)

Automatic on the other hand, seems actively opposed to responding to the calls (cries?) for him to clarify a license for the repo. Closed without being addressed - https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issu... 21 days open without response - https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issu...

We definitely need more projects who are completely open source (both WebUI and backend) to contribute to the ecosystem, and do so responsibly, adhering to lawful and ethical usage of the work of others.



My understanding is the "ethical requirements" of the model licence preclude it from being used in any completely FOSS software, as it would violate freedom 0 by restricting the purposes someone can use the software for.


I noticed that they added a `LICENSE-ModelWeights.txt`! Maybe I should dive into their repo deeper and follow their good practices.

Thanks a lot for the advice! It really helps!


If he doesn't want to add a license he shouldn't be bullied into adding one.


But then how will big corps be able to steal his free code without any legal repercussions?
