License question
When the license states "All rights reserved by the authors.". I assume this is meant to apply to the source code not the output images. Am I correct in this assumption? Sadly the legal system doesn't work well with assumptions though.
The licenses for CompVis/Stable-Diffusion (here on github) and the Model they provide seem to me to release all rights to the output to the user. https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion/blob/main/LICENSE (Section III Item 6.)
Could you please add a statement that indicates the status of the "output" (the images produced)?
I produce works and post publicly I do not want to find out that works I produce are actually not mine, or find my self getting a copyright violation for posting one of my own works.
Thank you.
Hi, I am not sure who owns the rights to AI-generated images. As far as I know, it varies from country to country, and in most places, it is still in a legal gray area. There are discussions on multiple forums like Reddit, but I believe nobody is yet sure.
I am using the same license as Stability.ai, and since I don't know much about copyright and ownership, I am not the right person to modify the license. I believe the best way would be to consult a lawyer or maybe ask the question on law stack exchange.
FYI, Stable Diffusion is now released under the "CreativeML Open RAIL M License". See https://github.com/basujindal/stable-diffusion/commit/69ae4b35e0a0f6ee1af8bb9a5d0016ccb27e36dc. This seems to have happened after you created this fork. I'm not sure legally how the licensing works, because you forked from the All Rights Reserved version.
