Update internal licensing compliance to allow selling finetunes and LoRAs under Anima v12.
Summary
Anima has updated its license to version 12, explicitly allowing individuals to sell derivatives such as finetunes and LoRAs and accept donations in exchange. The commit on Hugging Face clarifies that creators now have a fully approved path to monetize their work. The new license removes restrictions that previously limited derivative distribution. It also clarifies that the model can be used for commercial purposes once the derivative is sold. The change aligns Anima with other open‑source projects that support creator revenue streams. The update is expected to encourage more community contributions and commercial use cases. The commit also notes that the license remains compatible with existing Anima models and pipelines.
