this is really basic stuff. it isn't even legal rules it is the rules of grammar. there is no ambiguity at all. "DeepSeek" in this context can only mean one thing, and anyone arguing differently is basically arguing that 2+2=3. it is either ignorance or FUD.
So you are offering your grammar expertise to us, not any meaningful commentary on the law or legal aspects of the document? That’s a helpful distinction to make. I read it to include open weight models produced by the company you cite, and derivative products.
due to its popularity with self hosting by both individuals and companies, the deepseek model, its weights, can easily represent the whole of deepseek.
so if they say dont use deepseek, it means dont use the company & dont use the model. it is the only reasonable way to read this. you are looking for doorways where there arent any reasonable ones.
The link between grammar and law is... Interesting. Think about all the arguments over what exactly the second amendment means.
