It’s software, so yeah, I suppose. See for yourself: huggingface.co/Qwen/QwQ-32B-Preview
Deepseek chose MIT: huggingface.co/…/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B
For whatever reason, the Chinese companies tend to go with very permissive licensing, while Cohere, Mistral, Meta (Llama), and some others add really weird commercial restrictions. IBM Granite is actually Apache 2.0 and way more “open” and documented than even the Chinese tech companies, but unfortunately their models are “small” (3B) and not very cutting edge.
