The CompVis GitHub LICENSE (21f890f9), the HF Space licence.txt that the SD v1-4 card links (14d42d09) and a third-party GGUF repo LICENSE.md (101ff06c) are byte-identical CreativeML Open RAIL-M (dated 2022-08-22) texts; curator re-fetch reproduced the identical sha256.

Curator qualifications: That the SD v1-4 weights repo itself has no licence file at 133a221b (F1) was not re-checked by listing. Text identity only; no conclusion on which text governs any weights use.

Limitations: Three files.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
