Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/10264

I noticed that on the ollama.com website, all models from the DeepSeek-R1 family are currently listed with the MIT license. However, as I understand it, the 1.5B to 70B models are also derivative works of the Qwen2.5, Llama3.1 or Llama3.3 models, which are under the Apache 2.0 License, Llama3.1 license and Llama3.3 license, respectively.

I have two questions about this:

  • Does the Apache / Llama 3.1 / Llama 3.3 license apply to the respective distilled models? (My guess is yes, based on a very quick skimming of the licenses, but I could be wrong of course.)
  • If the answer to the previous question is yes, is there any way for this to be better reflected on ollama.com?
