Not "open source"

#4
by ostris - opened

The paper and model card mention that this is an "open source" model, but it is not. Your license is not an open source license and makes the model a non open source model. Please consider changing the license to an OSI compliant license to continue referring to it as "open source". https://opensource.org/license. I personally like Apache 2.0 or MIT but any OSI compliant license will work.

Thank you

Open source hasn't been the right term for awhile, most models are not "OSI" compliant. It is unfortunate but the reality of most model releases. There is still an argument to be made that AI Models released under vendor licenses are a good thing. For the most part these licenses may not be ideal, but most added restrictions are just formalization of common sense law and protocol while using AI. These terms provide more leverage to the model developers to decide how their models are used. This gives incentives and a safety net, thus there are now more models released. Keep in mind that applicable laws in the P.R.C means it is not realistic for most releases to be under apache since it indirectly violates policy from CAC by not giving a legal route for "harmful" users to be held accountable.

This would be a lot less complicated if industry just collectively decided to use "Open Access" instead of "Open Source". Please do this.
