Hmm, I wonder whether this means that the model can't be run under replicate.com or mage.space.
Is it commercial use if you have to pay for credits/monthly for the machines that the models are running on?
Like is "Selling the models as a service" commercial use, or can't the output of the models be used commercially?

I suppose it's not allowed them. That kind of sucks, it is pretty convenient to just use a replicate.com machine and use a large image model kinda instantly. Or spin up your own machine for a while if you need lots of images without a potential cold-start or slow usage on shared machines
I wonder why they chose this license, because the common SD license basically lets you do whatever you want
They're VC funded, so they need to start getting a ROI. Very disappointing license but it will also massively slow down its spread.
