Yes. The Gemma Terms of Use permit commercial use. That is the headline, and the fine print is short enough to actually read. - The terms are not an open source license. They are Google's own terms with a prohibited use policy. Read the actual list. - Redistribution is allowed, but the terms follow the model. Fine-tuning and shipping means making your users' obligations clear. - No user-count tripwire like Llama's 700M MAU. For startups documenting an AI policy, Gemma is one of the easier models: terms version, prohibited uses, done. - Check the termination clause once. It is tied to your compliance, not the lab's business strategy. Sleep better. I compare 200 models' licenses in plain language, and PrivateLLM deploy sets up Gemma on your own AWS for $50 plus usage.
