Change Summary
DeepSeek's MIT License file was updated in an update detected on July 20, 2026. Three sentences were removed from the repository display, including language describing how licensed works could be distributed under different terms, a summary of permissions and limitations, and a note that the information was not legal advice. The core MIT License text itself—granting rights to use, modify, distribute, and sublicense the software, and disclaiming liability—remains unchanged. The practical effect is that the GitHub repository page no longer displays supplementary information about how the license operates, though the underlying license grant and liability disclaimer remain in effect.
