Ideogram and Flux both have their own broad set of limitations that are non-technical and unpublished. IMO they are not really motivated by legal concerns, other than the lack of transparency itself.

So maybe the issue is that transparency, and that the hazy legal climate means no transparency. You can't go anywhere and see the detailed list of dataset collection and captioning opinions for proprietary models. Open Model Initiative, trying to make a model, did publish their opinions, and they're not getting sued anytime soon. However, their opinions are an endless source of conflict.
