PRAQTOR Insight

For most startups: Apache 2.0 and MIT are safest for commercial use — no surprises. Llama 3.1 is great until you hit 700M MAU (you should be so lucky!). Avoid CC-BY-NC for any commercial product. When in doubt, use API-based models.💡 Tip: Check the license at the model level, not just the base architecture. Fine-tuned models may have different licenses.
