License summary
A side-by-side cheat sheet covering the licenses for each model in the catalog. This is not legal advice. For any commercial deployment, read the actual license text and consult counsel; the table below is a quick orientation only.

If you only have time to read one thing
The safest commercial-use bucket is Apache 2.0 and MIT: nine of the fifteen catalogued models fall there. Llama, Gemma, Qwen, and GLM are permissive enough for most commercial work but have specific clauses worth a five-minute read. Command R+ is non-commercial — do not deploy it in production without a separate Cohere license.
