I would like to know if DeepStream and the TAO models are available for commercial use, or if an NVIDIA AI Enterprise license is required. I looked for this information but got a bit confused.
If there is any difference in licensing for the models, my interest is in PeopleNet.
For TAO, please refer to TAO Terms and Conditions - Intelligent Video Analytics / TAO Toolkit - NVIDIA Developer Forums.
The DeepStream SDK license declaration is : DeepStream End User License Agreement — DeepStream documentation
In this forum thread it says that all TAO models are distributable.
However, in this other thread:
It says that the PeopleNet model is not commercially available. Does this mean that you can’t commercialize PeopleNet individually? Also, I noticed that in the NGC catalog, PeopleNet has the NVIDIA AI Enterprise Support tag, is that necessary?
For the peoplenet in ngc, users can not sell it for commercial use.
If they trained a new model with peoplenet as pretrained weight, their new model can be for commercial use.
"All TAO models are distributable.” means user can use TAO to train any models and deploy.
