Kimi K3 license keeps MIT terms but adds revenue and user-count restrictions
TheZachMueller · x · 2026-07-28
A repost highlights the Kimi K3 license, which keeps an MIT-style base but adds two extra conditions: large AI hosting companies earning over $20M per year need a separate agreement, and products above 100M users or $20M in monthly revenue must display “Kimi K3.”
The comment says people who prioritize access and freedom may find the license reasonable, while open-source purists are likely to object.
