What each vendor's terms say about commercial use

A promise about training material, and a limit on where you are

Adobe describes Firefly outputs as safe for commercial use because the models were trained on licensed and public domain content. Hunyuan grants a limited licence over a territory that excludes the European Union, the United Kingdom and South Korea. As of 2026-09-22.

Inclusion rule. Two vendors whose published answers in one column point in different directions, or sit far enough apart that a reader choosing between them would decide differently. Order. The vendor named first in the heading is the one whose wording is quoted first.

1Neither answer is a plan, and they are opposite in direction

Both rows leave the crossing point without a figure. One of them adds a reassurance about what went into the model; the other adds a restriction about who may rely on the grant.

A reader scanning for blanks will see two vendors that name no plan. A reader looking at the wording sees one offering something extra and one taking something away, which is as far apart as this column gets.

2Provenance addresses a risk a licence cannot

A licence says what the supplier permits. It says nothing about somebody whose work was in the training set turning up with a claim, and that is the worry a provenance statement is written for.

The territory carve-out is the reverse: it does not address outside claims at all, and it removes the supplier's permission for anybody established in three named places. Both sentences matter, and to different readers.

3What each one leaves a brand to check

For the provenance row: whether the same wording appears in the agreement that binds, and what the position is for partner models offered alongside. For the territory row: where the entity relying on the grant is actually established.

Both are short questions with answers outside the pages read here, which is why the cells record the wording and the gap rather than a conclusion about either product.
