For released weights of Real-ESRGAN, FILM, RIFE and Practical-RIFE, what do the repositories say or not say about terms inherited from the training datasets, per component?

At the pinned commits, no repository README or training doc mentions inherited dataset terms for the weights. Code licences are explicit (Real-ESRGAN BSD-3-Clause, RIFE and Practical-RIFE MIT, FILM Apache-2.0). Only the Practical-RIFE README says its linked model files carry the same MIT licence as the project, and it names no training dataset. Real-ESRGAN names DIV2K as training data while the DIV2K page says academic research purpose only; the Real-ESRGAN files read do not mention that sentence. Whether one affects the other is a legal question and is left to curation. Curator qualifications: Per-repository statements verify and agree with C3R-0172; the new training-doc and dataset-page checks verify. No repository sentence links dataset terms to weights. Curator addition: the ToFlow repository, which hosts the Vimeo-90K description and download scripts, carries an MIT licence (Copyright (c) 2017 Baian Chen). That licence covers the repository and must not be read as a Vimeo-90K dataset licence. The dataset is built from 5,846 vimeo.com videos (a subset of the AoT dataset), whose per-video terms are third-party and unread. The rights 'datasets: conflicting' label is better read as 'stated for DIV2K (research-only), not stated for Flickr2K/OST/Vimeo-90K'. Absence of terms is not a conflict; the conflict lies between DIV2K's research-only sentence and any commercial reading of BSD-licensed Real-ESRGAN weights. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
