Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] README: lip-syncs videos to a target audio for any identity, voice and language; models trained on LRS2. · source: https://github.com/Rudrabha/Wav2Lip
- [sourced_fact] README states the code and models can only be used for personal/research/non-commercial purposes and that any commercial use is strictly prohibited; it points commercial users to a separate hosted service. · source: https://github.com/Rudrabha/Wav2Lip
- [upstream_claim] Pretrained Wav2Lip and Wav2Lip+GAN checkpoints are linked from Google Drive; face-detection weights (s3fd.pth) must be downloaded separately; Python 3.6 and ffmpeg required. · source: https://github.com/Rudrabha/Wav2Lip
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.

- model_weights: license=unknown hosting=restricted redistribution=restricted modification=restricted training=unknown · Disclaimer says models are trained on LRS2 and commercial use is strictly prohibited. · evidence: https://github.com/Rudrabha/Wav2Lip
