Open-source/commercial license for Anima?
Hi! Thanks for releasing Anima! ^^/
I noticed that the current license restricts the model and its derivatives to non-commercial use. Would you consider switching to a license that allows commercial use (for example Apache-2.0 or MIT), or something equivalent?
Why this matters:
- "NC" often blocks adoption in production, integrations, and services, even for small teams. That reduces real-world testing, tooling support, and community contributions (LoRAs, fine-tunes, etc.).
- The model card also says Anima is a derivative of Cosmos-Predict2 and references NVIDIA's open license. If I am reading that correctly, commercial use and redistribution may already be allowed upstream, so the extra NC restriction might not be necessary.
If a fully permissive license is not possible, a common alternative in AI is a commercial-friendly "community" license. For example, Meta Llama's community model (commercial use allowed, but very large-scale entities must request a separate license).
If possible, an open license like Apache or MIT could make collaboration and contributions much easier, but of course I respect whatever you decide :)
The model is based on Cosmos 2b, which is created by Nvidia and has a special non commercial license, Anima unfortunately can't change it's license
