I suppose it's not allowed them. That kind of sucks, it is pretty convenient to just use a replicate.com machine and use a large image model kinda instantly. Or spin up your own machine for a while if you need lots of images without a potential cold-start or slow usage on shared machines

I wonder why they chose this license, because the common SD license basically lets you do whatever you want

They're VC funded, so they need to start getting a ROI. Very disappointing license but it will also massively slow down its spread.
