Qwen-Image-2.1 ships under strict non-commercial research license, no revenue cap
ostrisai · x · 2026-09-20
ostrisai points out that Alibaba's newly open-sourced Qwen-Image-2.1 is released under the qwen-research license on Hugging Face: strictly non-commercial, with no revenue-cap exemption clause. For developers planning commercial use, this is far more restrictive than many mainstream open-model licenses and worth factoring into stack decisions.
