The CompVis stable-diffusion-v1-4 card (133a221b) declares creativeml-openrail-m, allows redistribution and commercial use only with the same use restrictions passed on, and points to a Hugging Face Space for the full text, with no LICENSE-named file at the repository root; under the same metadata value one derived repo ships the CreativeML Open RAIL-M text (dated 22 Aug 2022) as LICENSE.md, while pt-sk/stable-diffusion-1.5 ships an unfilled MIT licence template as license.txt. Curator qualifications: Conflict preserved: 'creativeml-openrail-m' metadata with an MIT template file (pt-sk) - the MIT template does not establish MIT terms for SD 1.5 weights. Producer 100-repository survey counts (5 of 100 with licence-like files; E3) not reproduced. Space licence text revision not read. Card/licence text and API metadata only; no weights downloaded. 100-repo survey not reproduced. Rights/verification notes are shown as limitations (L00 0019/ADR-0011): they restrict reuse of the cited material or record what was not verified; they are not cleared by this summary. Limitations: Pinned revisions of user repos. [ambiguous] Treat SD 1.5 re-uploads as OpenRAIL-M regardless of bundled template files. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
