Clarification on License Type for Vision Embedding Model
Hi everyone,
I've noticed a discrepancy regarding the licensing for the vision embedding model on HuggingFace Hub. This model is listed under a non-commercial license, yet the GitHub page and other text embedding models linked to this project permit commercial use. Could someone please clarify if the non-commercial license on the Hub is accurate, or if it might be an oversight?
Thanks for your help!
I wanted to provide an update regarding the licensing of the Nomic-Embed-Vision model. After further investigation, I found an official blog post from Nomic clarifying that the model is indeed released under a CC-BY-NC-4.0 license. This is to facilitate ongoing experimentation by researchers and enthusiasts while supporting Nomic's ability to continue innovating and releasing new models.
Additionally, the post notes that Nomic plans to re-license older models to Apache-2.0 as new updates are made to their catalog, gradually allowing for commercial use. I hope this information is helpful to anyone who follows this thread in the future.
Tomas, you are correct. The Nomic Embed Text is Apache 2 and Nomic Embed Vision is cc-by-nc-4.0 for the reasons you stated. Thanks for clarifying here!
