Wow. Your link is frustrating because I thought everything was under the MIT license. Why did people claim it is MIT licensed if they sneaked in this additional license?

So, the older DeepSeek-V3 model weights are sadly not permissively licensed.

But the recent DeepSeek-R1-Zero and DeepSeek-R1 have MIT licensed weights.

Thank you very much. That was helpful. Do we need the older model weights to use the recent DeepSeek-R1-Zero and DeepSeek-R1 models?

I can't be 100% certain, but I think the good news is: no. There seem to be the exact same number of safetensor files for both, and AFAICT the file sizes are identical.
