Qwen had to clarify that Qwen-Image-2.1's license bans selling the model, not selling what you make with it
r/LocalLLaMA (434 upvotes), citing @QwenDevs on X·medium signal
A day after the release, @QwenDevs posted a clarification of the Qwen-Image-2.1 license that drew 434 upvotes on r/LocalLLaMA, because the HF card carries 'license:other' rather than the Apache-2.0 the community expected from recent Qwen drops. The practical reading in the thread: you cannot resell or repackage the model itself as an image-generation product, but you can use it commercially to generate images for your own work. For builders this is the distinction between shipping Qwen-Image-2.1 as a feature of a paid tool and using it as an internal asset pipeline.
