#52No, the GPL doesn't prevent meaningful academic or commercial use; rather, it seeks to prevent individuals from taking advantage of free software to limit the freedom of other users. It is important to note that if you live in a free country, there are laws that protect the liberties of all citizens and prevent actions that could restrict those freedoms.

I think OP mischaracterized the issue with the license, its more that the weights don’t fall under the same scope. They’re research use only, no commercial use allowed.
