Change Summary
DeepSeek updated its DeepSeek-R1 model license on June 2, 2026 by adding clarifying language on GitHub describing the MIT License terms. The updated license now includes explicit statements that licensed works may be distributed under different terms without source code, and adds a summary of permissions (commercial use, modification, distribution, private use) and limitations (liability, warranty). The substantive MIT License text itself remains unchanged; the additions consist of explanatory metadata and GitHub-generated license summaries that clarify the scope of rights and restrictions already inherent in the MIT License.
