License & codec

These weights are a derivative of OmniVoice (k2-fsa, Apache-2.0). At inference the model loads the Higgs-Audio-v2 codec separately; that codec carries the Boson Higgs Audio 2 Community License (non-commercial, output-restriction). This repo contains only the Apache-2.0-derived OmniVoice weights - obtain the codec from its own source.
