Why non-commercial license?
HuggingFace had released Parler TTS which used a dataset which was Non-Commercial yet their weights are Apache 2.0? So surely the datasets don't necessarily require you to use the same terrible license? Otherwise all other AI models would have to also be non-commercial considering they all contain copyrighted material used without permission.
I've seen similar things with other models, especially in the tts or stt Domains.
What I'm wondering is, if this is non-commercial, would using the API they offer on their site also be for noncommercial projects only?

According to their ToS it seems to differ if you're a paid user vs a free user:
"Free Users:
OuteAI grants you a revocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, and distribute the Generated Outputs for personal, non-commercial purposes only.
Paid Users:
OuteAI grants you a revocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, and distribute the Generated Outputs for both personal and commercial purposes."
So the licensing seems to be arbitrary rather than a legal reason for making it non-commercial only.
@edwko can we have some more clarification on the license, llama's license states.
i. If you distribute or make available the Llama Materials (or any derivative works thereof),
or a product or service (including another AI model) that contains any of them, you shall (A) provide
a copy of this Agreement with any such Llama Materials; and (B) prominently display “Built with Llama”
on a related website, user interface, blogpost, about page, or product documentation. If you use the
Llama Materials or any outputs or results of the Llama Materials to create, train, fine tune, or
otherwise improve an AI model, which is distributed or made available, you shall also include “Llama”
at the beginning of any such AI model name.
iii. You must retain in all copies of the Llama Materials that you distribute the
following attribution notice within a “Notice” text file distributed as a part of such copies:
“Llama 3.2 is licensed under the Llama 3.2 Community License, Copyright © Meta Platforms,

a. Grant of Rights. You are granted a non-exclusive, worldwide,
non-transferable and royalty-free limited license under Meta’s intellectual property or other rights
owned by Meta embodied in the Llama Materials to use, reproduce, distribute, copy, create derivative works
of, and make modifications to the Llama Materials.
But anyway, still great work for releasing a very nice tts model.
