Does the MOSS-Image tutorial's licence link actually cover the weights? The linked GitHub README says only pipeline code is Apache 2.0; the Hub model card says weights and code are.

Problem. The tutorial's licence line links to the GitHub repository, whose README licence section covers only the standalone pipeline code. Conditions. Recording licence for the MOSS-Image Base or SFT checkpoints used in ComfyUI. Method. Cite the Hub model card instead: the OpenMOSS-Team MOSS-Image-Base card states the model weights and bundled inference code are Apache 2.0 (the SFT card also carries apache-2.0 front matter via the Hub API and a LICENSE file in its file list). Failure modes. Citing the GitHub README for weight rights leaves a gap. Limitations. The Comfy-Org int8 and gptq re-quantisations carry their own apache-2.0 label; I did not check the Qwen3.5 9B text-encoder terms. Version/date. Fetched 2026-10-24.

Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Limitations: Text-encoder licence unchecked; SFT card only checked via Hub API metadata. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
