   Thanks @mikemccand!
   
   > but it's currently at 1.9.0 -- maybe the developers who build Faiss here 
might push 1.11.0 (just released) soon?
   
   I see a PR for this: 
https://github.com/conda-forge/faiss-split-feedstock/pull/88, but I'm not sure 
if / when it'll go through, because they seem to have missed 1.10.0 as well: 
https://github.com/conda-forge/faiss-split-feedstock/pull/83
   
   There's also an open issue in Faiss to move to `conda-forge`:

   > but when running `miniforge` against one of Conda's channels, that channel 
has its own licensing covering the binary artifacts it provides, and that's our 
current wrinkle: we are unsure about the license of the PyTorch Conda channel...
   
   _Seems like_ a license is not needed for non-default Anaconda channels (from 
https://www.anaconda.com/pricing/terms-of-service-faqs):
   
   > If packages are hosted in community channels such as conda-forge, you can 
use all packages for free, provided you use Miniconda or any non-Anaconda 
installer such as Miniforge. (subject to the mirrored channels exception 
mentioned in guideline 2)
   
   > Do I have to pay if I use Miniconda?
   > Because Miniconda is a minimal Anaconda distribution installer that points 
to the Anaconda repositories by default, the need to pay depends on the package 
channels you use. If you use the default channel (named “defaults” and points 
to the Anaconda Repository) and your company has 200 or more employees, you 
need to purchase a license. However, if you use community-maintained package 
channels on [anaconda.org](http://anaconda.org/) (like conda-forge and 
bioconda) as your preferred channel, you don’t need a license
   
   > Do commercial fees apply to conda-forge?
   > No. Our commercial fees do not apply to the user-uploaded packages at 
[anaconda.org](http://anaconda.org/), which includes conda-forge. We do not 
build these packages. We host them as a free service to the community – 
something we’ve done for over 10 years. While commercial fees don’t apply, our 
Terms of Service do still apply to conda-forge, as they do for any third-party 
content we host, which is typically the case when an internet service provider 
hosts third-party content
   
   Based on this, I assume the [`pytorch`](https://anaconda.org/pytorch) 
channel is free-to-use (just like 
[`conda-forge`](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge)), and I did not find any 
specific licenses on https://pytorch.org that limit its use, _but inputs are 
appreciated -- I'm not familiar with this!_
