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.

Limitations: Memory figures not validated for the ComfyUI int8 route; base-model licence not read.

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