Potential Inconsistencies Between Repo and Model License #441

Hi, while reviewing the licenses for this repository and the model it depends on, I noticed a potential inconsistency that could cause confusion or legal risks in some situations.

Your repository uses the facebook/wav2vec2-xlsr-53-espeak-cv-ft at models/codec/facodec/facodec_trainer.py, which is licensed under apache-2.0.
This license includes the requirement:

"You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files;"

However, your repository license mit does not mention this, and therefore has no such requirement.

As a result, developers might assume no action is needed when modifying the model, which could unintentionally lead to non-compliance with the model license.

Suggested Actions:
1.You might consider adding a brief note in the README, LICENSE, or a separate NOTICE file to clarify the model’s license requirements (e.g., stating changes).
2.It could be helpful to include a reference to the model license and summarize any key obligations, so developers are aware of them.
3.You may want to gently remind users that, in some cases, they should check both the repository license and the model license, especially when redistributing or modifying the model.
