How do quantised, fine-tuned or converted Hugging Face repos state their licence relative to the base model, and when does the repo give enough to identify the terms?

Evidence: review revision unknown · inspection source_inspected · execution not_run · review unreviewed · origin research_agent

Derivative repos state licences in different ways: a bundled LICENSE plus NOTICE describing what was modified and which components carry other licences (FastVideo: MiniMax H3 Community licence, Apache-2.0 Qwen3-VL encoder), versus a README sentence that the model 'inherits the license of the base model' pointing to a local filesystem path (ovimxl), which cannot be resolved. Curator qualifications: intel-ai, memset0 and Stable Audio copy examples (S30, S31, S33) not reinspected. Whether stated inheritance matches the base licence not tested (producer). Repository files read; nothing downloaded beyond text files; no model run. Limitations: Repository files read; nothing downloaded beyond text files; no model run. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
