Cosmos-Transfer1 and 2.5: code under Apache-2.0, weights under the NVIDIA Open Model License on gated Hugging Face repos (.pt checkpoints). VACE: Apache-2.0 code and ungated Wan2.1-VACE weights (safetensors) whose repo ships an Apache-2.0 licence text; the LTX variant carries a different licence tag. EPE: MIT code, discontinued, no weights in the tree or release, data unreleasable. RealMaster: paper only, no official code found. Runway Aleph and Luma Modify Video: closed metered services. Licence prose for Cosmos weights is not re-read here (C3-B019-W6 covers it). Curator qualifications: Release-status statements verify. VACE LICENSE files are byte-identical; the EPE discontinuation and data statements verify; the Cosmos metadata (gated auto, nvidia-open-model-license, .pt) verifies. New in curation: the Cosmos-Transfer1-7B weights repository bundles third-party guardrail models that the candidate does not mention. 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: [component_reuse_restriction] NVIDIA Open Model License clauses not re-read here (C3-B019-W6 covers it). Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
