# For the audio-capable world models and sync-focused sound tools found here, what do the repositories and model cards actually say about licence and weights per component, and where do they disagree?

HelixWorld (Noiz AI) is the one audio-visual world model with a published checkpoint: code and the HF card say Apache-2.0, but the repository NOTICE says the LTX-2 code and model assets inside it are governed by the LTX-2 Community License (paid licence for entities with at least US$10M annual revenue; fine-tuned weights count as derivatives), the paper says HelixWorld builds on LTX-2.3, and the Gemma text encoder has its own terms. WorldSonus is CC BY-NC 4.0 with .pt weights (pickle-capable). V-AURA code is MIT but its checkpoint is a tar.gz with no stated weight terms. Kling-Foley publishes a paper and a CC-BY-4.0-labelled benchmark dataset but no code or weights were found.

Curator qualifications: V-AURA README: 0 occurrences of licen/terms/non-commercial (checkpoint terms not stated); code LICENSE 'MIT License'; the feature extractor is downloaded as an epoch_best.pt file (pickle-capable). Kling-Audio-Eval card: front matter 'license: cc-by-4.0' only; its 5 'source' hits are category labels ('Other sourceless'), so the media provenance is not described (rights conflict confirmed). Veo 3 model card not re-read. 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: [rights_conflict_record] Rights conflicts preserved (HelixWorld licence layers; Kling-Audio-Eval label vs undescribed media provenance).

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