MIT License
A very permissive open-source licence that lets almost anyone use the code or model freely.
The MIT License is one of the simplest and most permissive open-source licences. It essentially says: use this, change it, even sell it, as long as you keep the original credit. That freedom is why it is so widely chosen.
When an open model or tool is released under the MIT License, it signals the fewest strings attached, which makes it especially attractive to companies that want to build on it without legal worry.
