What each vendor's terms say about commercial use

Stable Video Diffusion grants ownership with one hedge

You own any outputs generated from the Models or Derivative Works, to the extent permitted by applicable law. This is a grant rather than a disclaimer, and the hedge at the end is the only limit the sentence carries. As of 2026-09-22.

A grant of ownership, and the hedge at the end of itSaying the user owns the outputs is a stronger form of words than declining a claim.

Inclusion rule. One vendor, one column. A cell earns a page when the vendor publishes something specific there, or when its silence is unusual beside the vendors read with it. Order. Fixed order: the wording, then its address, then the method, then the gap.

1A grant rather than a disclaimer

Most rows in this column say the vendor claims nothing. This one says the user owns the output, which is a stronger form of words and a rarer one. The difference shows up in a negotiation rather than in a product comparison.

It is worth noting that a vendor cannot grant what it does not hold. The sentence is most useful as a statement that the vendor will not contest ownership, which is the practical content of every entry in this column.

2The hedge is the honest part

To the extent permitted by applicable law acknowledges that copyright in machine output is unsettled and differs between jurisdictions. A licence that omitted the phrase would be promising something no drafter can deliver.

Readers sometimes treat the hedge as weakness. It is the opposite: it marks the boundary between what the vendor controls, which is its own claims, and what it does not, which is everything a court decides.

3Reading it beside the revenue threshold

The ownership sentence is unconditional on scale, while the licence that lets somebody generate at all terminates above a million dollars of annual revenue. Ownership of what has already been made and permission to keep making it are separate.

A studio that crosses the threshold does not lose the outputs it holds. It loses the basis for producing more until a new arrangement exists, which is a different and more manageable problem.

4Where this reading came from

The cell above was taken from the community licence published at stability.ai, as that page stood on 2026-09-22. The remaining three cells of the same vendor row sit on Stable Video Diffusion; the column itself is described on what is owned. This is a filing decision and not legal advice.
