Any licensing restrictions for commercial use for the entire pipeline?

The smart-turn model is completely open. No restrictions. (BSD license, just to avoid any ambiguity.) Use it, modify it, fork it. Contribute back if you want to. Don't if you don't.

The pipeline in the demo video is just test code I wrote a few months ago and is:
- Silero VAD
- smart-turn v2 running on @FAL.
- @DeepgramAI transcription
- @GoogleDeepMind Gemini 2.0 Flash
- @cartesia_ai voice

Code is here:

Silero VAD is also completely open. The Deepgram, Google, and Cartesia models are all commercial.

You can use any models, though. Just modify the @pipecat_ai code to drop different "services" into the pipeline.
