Can I use sound generated by MMAudio, HunyuanVideo-Foley or ThinkSound in a commercial delivery, according to what their licences and cards actually say?
The texts differ per component. MMAudio: code MIT; checkpoints CC BY-NC 4.0 (non-commercial) with a README warning that training-dataset licences apply and commercial suitability is not guaranteed. HunyuanVideo-Foley: Tencent Hunyuan Community License, which says Tencent claims no rights in Outputs but excludes EU/UK/South Korea, bars using Outputs to improve other AI models, restricts use outside the Territory and adds a 100M monthly-active-user condition. ThinkSound: HF card says Apache-2.0 while the GitHub README says commercial use is not permitted (see -05). No text read grants clearance; this record does not conclude legal permission.

Curator qualifications: MMAudio: code LICENSE 'MIT License'; README lines 181-183 'The code in this repository is released under the MIT license' / 'The checkpoints are released on Hugging Face under the CC-BY-NC 4.0 license'; HF card 'license: cc-by-nc-4.0' and 'the checkpoints are licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0 and can be used for non-commercial purposes only'. HunyuanVideo-Foley LICENSE: 'TENCENT HUNYUAN COMMUNITY LICENSE AGREEMENT', 'Release Date: August 28, 2025', 'THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT DOES NOT APPLY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, UNITED KINGDOM AND SOUTH KOREA', grant 'for the Territory only'. ThinkSound per C3R-0066.
