| Summary | ||
| Verdict | Blocked Per the Tencent Hy Community License Agreement (Sections 1(l) and 5(c)), the licence's defined Territory excludes the European Union, the United Kingdom and South Korea, and licensees are expressly prohibited from using, distributing or displaying the model or its outputs outside that Territory. Under those terms the weights are not deployable for EU users or workloads, regardless of architecture quality. | EU-ready Best-in-class permissive licence from an EU vendor. Apache 2.0 means no usage caps, no royalty, no revocation risk. |
