Key Points

  • MiniMaxAI updated the LICENSE for its MiniMax-M2.7 repository (commit edf8030), clarifying that individuals can use the software freely for personal purposes.
  • The license statement allows personal use scenarios such as running on one’s own servers for coding, building applications, agents, tools, integrations, research, and experimentation.
  • The authors emphasize that personal software development and later selling/monetizing the resulting products does not necessarily require a license.
  • They indicate the main concern is companies offering and selling public APIs, directing those entities to contact api@minimax.io for appropriate licensing terms.
  • The post notes the first drafted license may not cover every edge case, inviting engagement with the team to address gaps.

I just updated our license.
For personal use, you’re free to run the software on your own servers for coding, building applications, agents, tools, or integrations, as well as for research, experimentation, and other personal projects.
Don’t worry, bro — go ahead and use it freely!🤗

Sure you can. “software on your own servers for coding” meaning that u could coding to do anything include make money.

Personal use for software development, and then selling or commercializing it does not require a license.
What we really care about is companies that offer and sell APIs to the public.
Since this is first time drafting a license, it doesn’t cover everything. Thanks for your understanding.

Last update:
- Individuals/personal: use it however you want, free.
- - Any company or legal entity: please reach out to [api@minimax.io](mailto:api@minimax.io) for a license.
We want to support the ecosystem as much as possible — a license doesn't necessarily mean a fee, but it does mean we'd like to talk first.
