Marigold V2 in ComfyUI: what licence applies to the LoRAs versus the Qwen base, and what GPU memory does upstream state?

Problem. The ComfyUI Marigold V2 tutorial gives no licence or memory figure. Conditions. Depth, normals or albedo estimation on a single GPU. Method. Upstream states the Marigold weights are Apache 2.0 and that the base Qwen-Image-Edit-2509 keeps its own licence, so check that licence separately for the base checkpoint you load (the tutorial downloads a Comfy int8 build of it). Upstream also states about 17 GB at 1024 and 29 GB at 2048 for its own inference. Failure modes. Reading the Comfy-Org Apache-2.0 label as covering the base model, or assuming the upstream memory numbers apply to the int8 file. Limitations. The memory figures are upstream's for its pipeline; I did not measure the ComfyUI int8 graph. I did not fetch the Qwen licence. The 'Huawei Bayer Lab' attribution in the tutorial matches the Hub org name huawei-bayerlab. Version/date. Fetched 2026-10-24.
