Veizik is not one licence. Three separate things carry their own terms: the Runtime we build, the model weights you supply, and how you run it. This page is the map; the binding texts are the LICENSE in each download and the Terms.
Running Veizik on your own hardware — for yourself, for development, or for evaluation inside your own company — is free. Serving its output to other people, as a product or an API, needs a separate written agreement whether or not you charge for it. The model weights are the publishers' own, and some carry their own commercial or territory limits.
The Veizik Runtime (the native engine, its openers and the veizik command) is
proprietary software, © LinkPick. The distribution licence ships inside every download and is
published at the release
repository.
The licence is enforced per device: activating a machine issues an entitlement bound to it, not a file you copy. See Terms §04.
Veizik ships no model weights. You download the open-weight checkpoint from its publisher and point the Runtime at it. Each model stays under its own publisher's licence; Veizik neither redistributes nor relicenses it, and naming a model as supported grants you no rights to its weights.
Those licences differ, and several restrict commercial use or territory — Stable Diffusion 3.5 (Stability AI Community Licence — free below USD $1M annual revenue, and it requires a “Powered by Stability AI” notice on what you build), the FLUX.1 family (two different licences), the Tencent Hunyuan models (not licensed in Korea, the EU or the UK), and others. Check each one before you ship: which models you may use commercially →
On your own machine is the free grant. veizik run, veizik chat
and a veizik serve bound to your own loopback — for yourself, your development
or internal evaluation — are covered by the free grant in section 1.
veizik serve answers over HTTP.
The moment its responses are made available to anyone who is not you — as a product, an
API, a SaaS, or a render / inference service, and whether or not you charge for it —
you are hosting the Software as a service, and that needs a separate written agreement from
LinkPick before you start (LICENSE §2b and §3b). A free public endpoint is not
an exception. This is the clause that most often applies to a team putting Veizik behind an
internal or customer-facing endpoint.
Not sure which side you are on? If a person who is not you receives a generation from your copy of Veizik, you are serving. Write to support@veizik.com and we will sort out the right agreement.
The text, images and video you generate are yours to use, subject to the model's own licence (section 2). Image and video builds write a machine-readable provenance mark recording the content as AI-generated; this is required by law (EU AI Act Art. 50(2); Korean AI Framework Act Art. 31(2)), is not a visible watermark, and does not restrict your commercial rights. Detail: Terms §05 and AI transparency.
For production use, client delivery, advertising, or serving Veizik to other people, LinkPick issues a separate licence. Tell us what you are building and on what hardware and we will scope it: support@veizik.com.
