Is this open source? It says the model is the Llama license which is NOT open source.



This is a bit confusing. It appears the model license https://ai.meta.com/llama/license/ is different from the code license (Apache 2.0).

Seems like... there are lots of opportunities these days to clear up what open source means?


It seems hopelessly confused, because there are no open source models, only some that allow free redistribution of the model weights. Perhaps they should be called "open" and the word "source" should be dropped.


This is debated until the end of time. Open weights, whatever you want to call it. Essentially people and companies can use LLama 2 commercially as long as you have less than 700m MAUs if I recall correctly.


"Weights available" seems apt.
