Change Summary
DeepSeek modified the MIT License file documentation on its DeepSeek-R1 repository on June 29, 2026. The change removed supplementary explanatory text that described common permissions and limitations of the MIT License, such as the ability to use the software commercially, modify it, and distribute it. The core MIT License text itself—which grants broad permissions to use, modify, and distribute the software subject only to preserving copyright and license notices—remains unchanged. This is a documentation simplification that does not alter the actual licensing terms.
