This pertains to the larger open source licensing discussions that have been happening (as I'm sure you've seen too).
We've released projects under the MIT license before, most notably https://github.com/feyninc/chonkie. While we're not trying to directly monetize on this work, credit goes a long way and helps in other operations.
Recently, attributed usage is shrinking. To be clear, this is not a shrinkage in actual use of our software, just how many people acknowledge that they rely on it.
cc-by-nc is a protection against that. We've been very honest about our work being on top of BiRefNet as we want to extend the original creators the same courtesy. I have no issues if individuals fork/finetune/or otherwise build on top of any open source projects we release, irrespective of license. At minimum, we want acknowledgment if a company chooses to use our software in production.
Yep, nobody wants to adopt models with this license because it opens legal questions most users, whether professional or non-professional, don't want to muddy their work with.
This looks great! What are the resolution limits? From the GitHub readme I saw mention of 1024x1024, but I was able to process an image 1920x2880 just fine. I didn't see any really obvious scaling artefacts, so is there something clever happening behind the scenes?
This is awesome, I just bookmarked your tool. Ive been looking for something simple to use, since Its not easy to use the segment anything tool anymore. Thanks!
very cool! I've been having a fun time porting non-LLM models to iOS/Android (recently had some success with making Bonsai's image generation model run on Android) - have you attempted to run any of the workflows on a mobile device at all? Mind if I try?
All I ask is you make a PR to https://github.com/feyninc/nobg with your results. We'd love to see what you make, contribute in any way we can, and share onwards.
Of course, it's impossible to know for sure what was LLM processed or not, but some of your posts (like this one) have been getting classified that way.

I love seeing maturity getting pushed in this space. Congratulations to you and the team!
