distilbert-base-multilingual-cased from distilbert is an open-weight model — the weights are published and can be downloaded, self-hosted, and fine-tuned. It falls under the Masked language model category, and its license permits commercial use.
Permissive, with an explicit patent grant that protects users from contributor patent claims. Commercial use is fine; preserve the NOTICE file and note trademark terms.
Plain-language guidance, not legal advice — always confirm against the model’s own license before you rely on it.
