A headcount ceiling and a revenue floor, in two licences
Hunyuan requires a separate licence above a hundred million monthly active users in the preceding calendar month. Stability's community licence terminates the granted licences above a million dollars of annual revenue. Two thresholds, two different quantities. As of 2026-09-22.
| The question | HunyuanVideo | Stable Video Diffusion |
|---|---|---|
| What is measured | Monthly active users of a product | The licensee's annual revenue |
| Where the figure sits | Product analytics | Company accounts |
| When it is assessed | The preceding calendar month | Not stated as a moment |
| What the licensee must do | Request a licence | Request an enterprise licence |
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.
1Two ways of saying you are too big for this
Both licences let small users in for nothing and both stop somewhere. The difference is which number they watch: one counts the people using a product, the other counts the money arriving at a company.
A free consumer app with enormous reach passes the first threshold and may be nowhere near the second. A small studio with a handful of high-value clients does the reverse. Neither threshold is a proxy for the other.
2Who has to notice, and how hard it is
Monthly active users is a figure most product teams already report, so the first threshold is at least measurable from data somebody looks at. Annual revenue is a finance figure, and the licence does not say across which entities it is counted.
That ambiguity is where a group structure starts to matter. Each licence asks the licensee to monitor something, and one of the two is harder to answer confidently than it looks on the page.
3The condition that has nothing to do with size
One of these two also carves out three jurisdictions, excluding the European Union, the United Kingdom and South Korea from its defined territory. That condition catches small users the thresholds never reach.
Which is a reminder that a licence has more than one gate. Passing the scale test is not the same as being inside the grant, and a reader comparing thresholds can miss a map sitting two paragraphs above them.
4A third set of terms on the same question
| The question | SceneMixer | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial use | Output is the user's to the extent the law allows, royalty-free and commercial use included, and output made with free credits counts as paid for | SceneMixer, rights guide |
Inclusion rule. SceneMixer's own published wording on the column this pair was chosen for. Order. The sentence closest to the column first.
