I've been very excited about this project! I'm thrilled that we've arrived at the point where this technology can produce remarkable results on common consumer hardware— that it's no longer only a tool for entities that can afford their own massive data centers.
You cite Linux here as a success story for open source. Linux is made available under the GPL, as are many of the most popular open source creative applications such as Blender, GIMP, Inkscape, and Krita.
Stable Diffusion's "revolutionary OpenRAIL license," however, is incompatible with the GPL. I Am Not A Lawyer, but I have confirmed this with the Open RAIL License contact. This leads to some significant friction when trying to make use of these new technologies: https://huggingface.co/spaces/CompVis/stable-diffusion-license/discussions/3
How do you recommend we go about integrating new models like Stable Diffusion with the existing open source ecosystem?
