You could say it's not my software even when it runs locally, or my model weights. I'm just licensing them from the owner.

Doesn't make sense to me, in my free-as-in-freedom computing worldview.

Huh? This isn’t free as in freedom. This is a server they control and can alter at any point.

You can use alternative services to manage your own servers if you want for “free-as-in-freedom”.

I believe that GP was speaking of Stable Diffusion-style architectures + models, which you can run on your own hardware.
