Published video-model weights, licences and hardware notes

Licence: the name on the file, quoted not summarised

The licence column holds the name on the file that ships beside the weights, quoted rather than summarised. Three families here carry a standard permissive licence, one carries a licence its own vendor wrote, and one changes licence with the model size. As of 2026-09-12.

Three licensing shapes the same column has to holdMost releases here adopt a standard permissive licence whose text a reader already knows. One vendor wrote its own. One project applies a standard licence to its small model and a licence of its own to the large one, which makes the licence a property of the model rather than of the family.What is written on the file beside the weightsA standard nameRecognised, not readFixed text, widelyunderstood.

Inclusion rule. Families whose vendor publishes weights from an organisation it controls. The value is the licence name attached to those files, never a reading of what the terms permit. Order. Alphabetical by family name.

1The cell holds a name because a paraphrase cannot be rechecked

What gets recorded is the string attached to the files: Apache 2.0, tencent-hunyuan-community, or a note that the terms change with the model size. None of them is expanded into a sentence about what you may do. A paraphrase is a new document written by somebody with no standing to write it, and it is the version a reader would end up acting on.

Quoting the name keeps the row one click from the file. That is the whole arrangement: the cell says which document governs the download, and the link says where to read it. Anything more would be this register answering a question it has no way to answer for a particular plan, in a jurisdiction it knows nothing about.

2One word, three shapes, and the third is the one that gets missed

Three of the five families here ship under a standard permissive licence whose text is fixed and widely read, which is why the column looks uniform from a distance. HunyuanVideo breaks that: its weights carry tencent-hunyuan-community, named after the company that wrote it, so the terms have to be read rather than recognised.

CogVideoX is the third shape. Its 2B model is Apache 2.0 while its 5B carries a separate licence of the project's own, which makes the licence a property of the model rather than of the family. Someone who checks the smaller file and downloads the larger one has checked a document that does not govern what they now have.

3The two things this column stays silent about

It is silent about output. A licence on weights addresses copying, modifying and passing the files on; whether the video that comes out can be sold is a separate clause, present in some releases and missing from others. Silence there is neither permission nor refusal, and the cell does not convert it into either.

It is also silent about the version on sale. Wan 2.1 and 2.2 carry Apache 2.0 and 3.0 publishes nothing, so the version billed by the second on the hosted page has no public licence at all. An empty cell is the accurate entry there: nothing was released, so nothing was licensed.
