Open reasoning model under a plain MIT licence, allowing commercial use and derivatives including distillation. Arabic is not a declared target language — the card lists no languages — so Arabic behaviour is incidental. Superseded within the DeepSeek line by the R1-0528 update and later V3.x releases.
