Defining Open Source AI: Can the “Judgement of Solomon” Help the Open Source Commu...
summary
OSI publishes a first Open Source AI definition but adoption stalls and critics call it too rigid; debate centers on license mismatches (software licenses vs. model weights), arbitrary caps like Meta’s Llama committee 700 million‑user limit, and restrictions in so‑called responsible licenses that break permissive status. An alternative Model Openness Framework defines three classes — open model, open tooling model, open science model — and ships an online registry to score real distributions; corporate releases (Apache 2 for code, metadata only for data) partly meet but don’t fully satisfy the framework.
