Can we use the Juggernaut model used in this repo for free in our own api project? The Rundiffusion huggingface page says that models are not allowed to be used as api.

The licence for the model is on its CivitAI page. See the CreativeML Open RAIL++-M and study it for your use case. All I could see by quickly going through it is that you can use the model as an API service and commercially if you adhere to a couple of rules. Like presenting your users with that same licence and copyright notices of the model, and introducing your own system to comply with the rules specified in the last paragraph "A Use Restrictions" (basically ensuring your users don't do illegal things with it)

As I understand it, it is OK to use it in the API, but it needs to be explained in the License. I'm not in a position to do this right now, so if you want to continue using it, read the original license and use it as stated in it. After I finish my personal business, I will update the license.
