Question about terms of service on Civitai and Anima usage
Civitai just updated their terms of service and when I came to the section specifically about Anima, I found this:
(iii) you will not, and will not permit any third party to, alter or remove copyright or other proprietary notices appearing on or in any Cosmos-Derived Model, nor circumvent, disable, or remove any safety mechanism, content filter, watermark, usage restriction, or other guardrail incorporated into a Cosmos-Derived Model by CircleStone Labs LLC, NVIDIA, or Civitai...
Does the Anima model have some sort of watermark or creator tracking built in that we don't know about?
It's just legal flow-through terms to align with the original Nvidia license for Cosmos.
alter or remove copyright or other proprietary notices appearing on or in any Cosmos-Derived Model
You can't rip off the copyright notice and pretend it's your model, or something like that.
nor circumvent, disable, or remove any safety mechanism, content filter, watermark, usage restriction, or other guardrail incorporated into a Cosmos-Derived Model...
None of these things are in the Cosmos model or Anima. "Usage restrictions" are in the license, but basically just amount to "don't break the law". This stuff is only in the Nvidia license because some lawyer copy-pasted a generic CYOA clause. Civit put it in their TOS presumably so they are 100% covered, legally speaking.

Gotcha. Thanks for the quick answer. I'm loving the model!
