Per the published LICENSE file, Kimi-K2.6 ships under a Modified MIT licence: identical to standard MIT for almost all deployers, with an additional UI-attribution requirement only for products exceeding 100M monthly active users or USD 20M monthly revenue. The genuine EU-readiness concerns are the China-based vendor and the absence of any training-data disclosure rather than the licence itself.

Attribution threshold
100M MAU or $20M monthly revenue triggers 'Kimi K2.6' UI label
Vendor jurisdiction is the People's Republic of China — outside the GDPR adequacy list.
Training corpus is not disclosed; AI Act Article 53(1)(d) summary-of-content obligations fall to the deployer.
Modified MIT clause requires prominent 'Kimi K2.6' UI attribution for products above the MAU/revenue threshold — a marketing constraint to flag for high-scale deployments, not a licensing blocker.
