Why non-commercial license?
HuggingFace had released Parler TTS which used a dataset which was Non-Commercial yet their weights are Apache 2.0? So surely the datasets don't necessarily require you to use the same terrible license? Otherwise all other AI models would have to also be non-commercial considering they all contain copyrighted material used without permission.
I've seen similar things with other models, especially in the tts or stt Domains.
What I'm wondering is, if this is non-commercial, would using the API they offer on their site also be for noncommercial projects only?

According to their ToS it seems to differ if you're a paid user vs a free user:
"Free Users:
OuteAI grants you a revocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, and distribute the Generated Outputs for personal, non-commercial purposes only.
Paid Users:
OuteAI grants you a revocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, and distribute the Generated Outputs for both personal and commercial purposes."
So the licensing seems to be arbitrary rather than a legal reason for making it non-commercial only.
