Two published weight sets, one with a ceiling and one without
Wan states that the models in its repository are licensed under Apache 2.0. The Stability community licence covers commercial use until the licensee passes a million dollars in annual revenue, at which point the granted licences terminate. As of 2026-09-22.
| The question | Wan | Stable Video Diffusion |
|---|---|---|
| The licence named | Apache 2.0 | A community licence agreement |
| Threshold attached | None on this point | Annual revenue above USD $1,000,000 |
| What happens at the limit | There is no limit stated | Granted licences terminate |
| Who can see the trigger | Nobody needs to | Only the licensee's own accounts |
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.
1Both hand over the weights, and only one hands over certainty
Read as engineering the two rows are similar: download the files, run them, keep the output. Read as licences they are not, because one of them asks the licensee to watch a number that nobody else can see.
That difference is invisible in a feature comparison and decisive in a procurement review. A permissive licence is a one-time decision; a threshold licence is an ongoing obligation to notice something.
2A named licence versus a bespoke one
Apache 2.0 has been read by every legal team that has ever looked at open source, and its text does not move. A community licence written by a single vendor has to be read fresh, and reread when it changes.
Neither is a criticism. Attaching a revenue threshold is how a company funds model work while letting small users in for nothing, and it is a reasonable trade. It is simply a different object from a standard licence, and it costs a reader more.
3What the ownership cells do in each case
One row claims no rights over generated contents, subject to complying with the licence. The other grants ownership of outputs to the extent applicable law permits. A disclaimer and a grant, reaching the same practical place.
Neither is affected by the threshold. Losing the basis to generate more does not unmake what has already been produced, which is worth separating out before anybody panics about a good quarter.
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.
Its full row is on the SceneMixer entry.
- LicenceThe models in this repository are licensed under the Apache 2.0 Licensepublished with the weights
- What is ownedThe repository claims no rights over your generated contents, granting you the freedom to use them provided your usage complies with the licencestated in the same sentence as the licence
- ThresholdThe community licence covers commercial use until the licensee has more than USD $1,000,000 in annual revenuestated as annual revenue
- What happens at the thresholdAbove that revenue any licences granted under the agreement terminate, and an enterprise licence has to be requested
5Both documents
The first column comes from the repository licence note at github.com, read 2026-09-22; the second from the community licence at stability.ai, read 2026-09-22. Each vendor’s full row is on Wan and Stable Video Diffusion, and the column being compared is described on commercial use from. A comparison of wording is not legal advice. Other pairs: Hunyuan and Stability, HeyGen and Firefly.
