LFM Open License v1.0

The LFM Open License v1.0 names Liquid AI, Inc. as the Licensor and is published in Liquid AI's LFM2.5 model repositories on Hugging Face. Its definitions, copyright and patent grants, and redistribution conditions closely follow the wording of the Apache License 2.0. It adds a Commercial Use Limitation in Section 5 tied to an annual-revenue Threshold that the license defines, and a termination clause in Section 11.132Fact reviewed Oct 8, 2026

What the license text says

Copyright and patent grants
Each Contributor grants copyright and patent licenses "including the Commercial Use limitation set forth in Section 5." Patent licenses end if you bring patent litigation alleging that the Work infringes (Sections 2 and 3).13
Commercial use limitation
Rights for Commercial Use are "conditioned upon You or Your Legal Entity not exceeding the Threshold," an annual-revenue amount defined in Section 1. Commercial Use by a Legal Entity above it "is not licensed under this Agreement" (Section 5).13
Non-profit research use
The Threshold does not apply to a Qualified Non-Profit Organization's use of the Work or a Derivative Work for Non-Commercial or Research Purposes (Section 5(c)).13
Redistribution conditions
Redistributors must give recipients a copy of the license, mark modified files with prominent notices, keep copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices, and carry forward any NOTICE file's attribution notices (Section 4).13
Termination
"This License will terminate automatically and immediately if You fail to comply with any of its terms and conditions." On termination you must stop all use of the Work and any Derivative Works and delete all copies (Section 11).13
