Every Wan 2.2 model card points readers at a licence file the repository does not contain

Alibaba's Wan 2.2 video models all close their model cards with the same paragraph: the weights are Apache 2.0, the company claims no rights over what users generate, and "for a complete list of restrictions and details regarding your rights, please refer to the full text of the license" — with the phrase "license" linking to a file named LICENSE.txt inside the repository.
That file is not there. We checked all four Wan 2.2 weight repositories on 2 September 2026: T2V-A14B, I2V-A14B, S2V-14B and Animate-14B each return 404 for LICENSE.txt. The two Wan 2.1 repositories we checked, T2V-14B and T2V-1.3B, do carry the file, with the standard Apache 2.0 text in full.
The practical effect is smaller than it sounds, but it is not nothing. Two independent declarations of Apache 2.0 remain in place: the licence tag in the repository metadata on Hugging Face, which is what the platform displays and what automated licence scanners read, and the LICENSE file in Alibaba's matching code repository on GitHub. Anyone shipping a product on these weights has a licence. What they do not have is the document the model card tells them to go and read — the one it says contains the complete list of restrictions.
The timing gives this more weight than a filing error usually deserves. Wan 2.2 is the last generation of Alibaba's video line whose weights were published at all; everything since — 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and Wan3.0 — is served through an API only. These four repositories are therefore not an archive. They are the files anyone who wants a Wan they can run on their own hardware downloads today, and one of them, Animate-14B, is the most bookmarked video model the company has ever released.
