As far as I can tell from Emad's discord and twitter discussion, the idea appears to be to make this a "research" release, and therefore the worse license.

At a later point the model will be renamed "StableIf", and released with a similar license to StableDiffusion.




Well, its a better license than SDXL is available under right now (which is “you can’t have it, but you can use it on StabilityAI’s hosted services”.)


Yeah Emad was clarifying this on the LAION discord the other day — plan is to have a better-licensed version out Eventually™, guess we'll see how long that takes.


for certain values of soon™ and eventually™
