notes

Verified: the LICENSE file at vllm-project/vllm main branch is the standard Apache License 2.0 text (201 lines, 11.1 KB). The Apache 2.0 patent grant (Section 3) is the key differentiator from MIT: it grants a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, with termination upon patent litigation. This is the licence that governs vLLM's use in commercial products.
